POWER PLAYERS LESSON TWELVE

FRAN’S MARKET CAMPAIGN

WHAT I LEARNED: Just get started and TAKE THE STEPS! TAKE THE CHANCE! GO FOR IT!

MY CAMPAIGN:

I’m already trying to market to producers. I’ve gotten a list and I have a couple of people who are helping me market my script to producers.

So, I’m going to pick get a star attached. I’ve already contacted my filmmaker friend who worked with Jesse Eisenberg. I have an in and I’m hoping that I can get my three-part script to Jesse for the part of John Kay.

I also entered part one of my story in a contest hoping to pick up a star or producer to make it.

David’s Marketing Campaign

What I learned is I have a lot to do ..

I’m going to market this to producers. I’ll probably do one more light revision, but not enough to warrant a new copyright.

I need to identify and collect contact information on producers that would be an ideal match for this script. Once I have that, I see if I can trace any of them back through my own contacts. In other words, are any of them only slightly removed from me in terms of degrees of separation. If I’m already close to some of them, I might be able to get an introduction or recommendation.

Then I need to start with the query letters and phone pitches.

Meanwhile I’ll see who I can meet online, and who I might be able to take to lunch.

First action – compile that list!
