Hey, guys. Looking for some business advice.
I find myself in a somewhat unusual, but probably not uncommon situation. I've recently been working with a well known actor on a film set. We've crossed paths every day for the past couple months, but for the most part we just say hi to each other because I'm typically busy when they're not busy and vice versa, so it's not like we've gotten to know each other particularly well.
That said, this person's really fun to work with. So much so that I'm inclined to work with them again and would like to pass along a script or two to them that I think they'd be good for and might have some interest in as well based on their quirky personality that I've picked up on that matches my personality and writing style.
My conundrum is I'm opposed to the idea of broaching this type of matter with an actor while working on set as a code of professional conduct, and I'm skeptical that I'd get to chat them up about it off the clock before they head home when the show wraps.
So, my question is what is the proper way to go about accomplishing the goal of getting my work in front of this actor without a rep to do it for me?
Is it acceptable for me to personally call / email their reps and explain my connection to their client and pitch the rep, or is that also bad form? Seems potentially iffy to me, but maybe I'm wrong.
They also have their own production company that I think they recently started. Would that be a better bet?
Any advice would be helpful.
