Screenwriting : Querying Netflix Help by Jenni James

Querying Netflix Help

Hi, I met Quinton Aaron (Big Mike from The Blind Side) before the pandemic, and he approached me with an adorable idea for a family feature film (Nothin' for Christmas). We collaborated and laughed a ton, and I took that list of ideas we'd come up with and wrote out the screenplay. He loved it, his agent loved it... then the pandemic hit.

Now, we're at it again. This time I have James Haven (Angelina Jolie's brother/Jon Voight's son) attached as the director. And he'd like us to head to Netflix. Since this feature takes place in Albuquerque and the incentives in NM are great. AND we've heard Netflix has just opened offices/studio there.

I'll figure this out on my own, even if I have to cold call them and get an email to get heard. But by chance, I wondered if any of you knew how to get ahold of Netflix in New Mexico first.

I’m currently looking to option a Christmas script. Have connections with all major streamers through my network of execs. Would love to chat about what you’re doing.

You worked with Quinton Aaron and you have James Haven attached, Jenni James! That's huge! Congratulations! You can search the Pitch Sessions to see if there are any producers, execs, agents, etc. who work for Netflix or have contacts there. https://www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions
