There’s a lot of great threads on done deal about scripts going out wide but not so many that discuss when your reps target select producers instead. Thought it might be interesting for the DD community to share their own experiences on this type of approach. Did your script build momentum slowly? Did it sadly lose the interest of your reps after those first few passes? Did they use it as a sample where perhaps it then landed on one of the prestigious end of year lists and then catch fire etc?
I’ve had scripts go out wide and the responses have come in thick and fast. Just last week though I had a new script start being slipped to a handful of producers. It’s a big, epic swords and sandals type war piece so there’s understandably not as many folk that can take it on and get it made.
Any DD’ers care to share their experiences? Could be a helpful thread for writers that don’t necessarily write a script with a slam dunk/ commercial concept but is something their reps dig.
