  • How do you guys go about querying?

    Do you go on imdbpro and find producers that have produced similar genres to your scripts?

    What would you say is your conversion rate? Maybe you shoot a 100 emails and from that 5 will respond to you and 2 will request to read?

    Have you had any luck selling your script or getting representation from a cold query?

    Do you avoid the bigger companies and firms going this route?

    Thanks!

    Just letting you know, this is one of the most common topics on this board. You will find a wealth of info by typing "query" in the search bar.

    That said, imdbPro is a good starting off point.

        I compiled my list of targets from imdbpro and suggestions on this board. I sent 250 queries (150 managers, 100 agents). Got about a dozen read requests, from those 4 meetings, and 2 offers of representation.

        It works. Just have a good log line.

        Best of luck!

          Congrats on getting repped. Can I ask if you personalised the queries in any way or did you just cut paste?
