Expose Yourself And Your Material!

Expose Yourself And Your Material!

There are resources available to you right on the Internet for this purpose.

For many of the old media print resources, the ink has dried up. They have gone out of business, or are switching to online and social media sites. Online might be the only way to get them in the not too distant future — another example of how technology is changing the playing field and making it easier for anybody to gain access from anywhere in the world.

Some of the most popular online sources of information now are IMDB, IMDB Pro, Done Deal and Variety, where you can get contact info for just about anybody and anything: Who’s doing what, when: Any Producer. Actor. Director. Manager. Agency. Etc. It might be worth sharing a subscription with someone.

Either way, it is absolutely mandatory for you to familiarize yourself with the players in the industry — who they are, what they are doing and where you can reach them. The goal is the same. Find those who would most likely be interested in your kind of project.

Another great resource to keep you informed are the online trades. Things like Deadline Hollywood, The Wrap, Studio System News, among others.

Then there are the obvious ones, the social media: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn being the major ones. The digital world is changing so fast, other sources are popping up almost weekly.

A fringe benefit of all these sites is that their databases can be updated quickly.

The nice thing about this also being an e-book, is it can be accessed all over the world. If you are not in the United States, I encourage you to write for your local markets and cultures — no matter where you are. Whether you are in Canada, India, New Zealand, or Turkey — they all need indigenous product to one degree or another, and you can supply it.

There is a film and television commission in almost every major region. They are all trying to attract business. Search the web for the various players and resources that can help you.

Check out the local Unions, Guilds and Production Companies. Contact them directly. You don’t need a service to do this for you.

You have a great story to show them — and you are a great story yourself — so share it.

If you can’t get to the various producers, development execs, and the like, befriend their assistants, who are always hungry and on the way up. Invite them for coffee or tea and tell them what you have, what you are up to. Get to meet them. More importantly, let them get to know you. They are the first line of defense.
