Re: Why I Hate Script Contests And So Should You
Mitchell, Uneducated,
I've tried VPF, and maybe dropped $150 for 15 pitches. I got maybe one(?) "send it" requests, and it was a manager who always says "send it." Certainly could have been a lackluster logline and/or query on my part to blame for the poor success ratio.
I must say the ease of making queries via VPF does make it attractive. They have the names and info about the managers, agents, prodcos, etc all laid out with what they've done and what they're interested in, and you simply click on it to query them. It's easier than individually looking up managers, seeing what they've done, finding their e-mail, sending them a query, keeping track of it, etc.
PM me if you want more info on my experience.
