The comedian that I had in mind for the main character when I wrote my new screenplay is coming to my town to perform stand-up. Is it too desperate or stalker-ish to approach him after the show to pitch my script to him?
I am torn. It is out of my comfort zone and feels kind of like an ambush to do such a thing, but on the other hand, it might be my only good shot to make a direct pitch.
If I did decide to play out this strategy, I was thinking of brief simple pitch, "I wrote a screenplay with you in mind. Here's my business card. Contact me if you would like to read it and I can email it to you.- Of course I would have a script on hand it he seems receptive to the idea and doesn't mind toting around a physical copy.
I am new to the business and I don't know the proper etiquette for direct pitches to talent. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
