Hi all, my first post here, but been a longtime lurker without an account.
Approx 6 weeks ago I queried a bunch of agents and got a read request from one at CAA - the agent forwarded my email to their assistant who replied asking me to send the script over along with a submission release form.
I followed up with the assistant last week and got no reply, and also got no reply when I sent over the script. All that combined with the submission release form saying State and Zip Code for the address bit makes me think that the overworked assistant took one look at the form and decided that my not being in America (UK) was a good enough reason to not read it (I'd have probably done the same thing, to be fair).
Of course, I'm not saying that otherwise, if they had read it, they'd have been rushing to tell me how great it is, but it's just my gut feeling.
Anyway, I ask because, looking at my pitch, I can see now that my pitch sucked, so I figure I might as well have another go at pitching it as it's probably been long enough that they'll have forgotten my first email. (Not putting too much hope into getting interest from an agent, but figure it's worth a try before I start querying prodcos.)
So yeah, anyone outside the US actually been read by an agent(s) at CAA?
