I had a bit of luck cold calling a couple of people last week. A particular producer I really want to submit my screenplay to told me I would need to submit through an attorney. My boyfriend is an attorney but by no means an entertainment attorney. He is not dialed in with anyone in that practice area.
So my questions and concerns are:
Can any type of attorney submit for me or better yet is that acceptable? How would he do that? Just contact the producer and say he was submitting on my behalf? My boyfriend's speciality is healthcare law, so he knows nothing about the process.
If not, how do I go about finding the best attorney for this? I do have a membership on IMDbPro which as you know lists the contact info for attorneys for each producer, actor etc.. What is the process? I contact one to submit for me? Does anybody know the average cost of this? Am I going to be spending $300 or $3000 to have them submit for me? Also, is it a good idea to use the same attorney of the producer I want to read it?
Any advise would be appreciated.
