Last week my feature script cracked the Top 20 in the Feature Drama category on The Red List. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how to best exploit my position on The Red List to get a producer/financier attached to the script?

Congratulations on being Top 1% overall on Red List and cracking the Top 20, Bill Taylor!
When you email query letters to producers (or call), you can mention that you're Top 1% overall and Top 20 in the Feature Drama category.
You might can do the same thing with financiers, but I don't know much about the financial side (yet). You could post your question in the Financing/Crowdfunding Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/fundraising).

I would try to form my own team first, like attaching director, producer, key crew members, legit reps, lawyer before reaching out to exec producer/financiers (where do you find these individuals?) ... thats if you are serious about making this idea into a movie. Add 3-5+ years of dedication.
Dont know Red List. Whats their track record? I'm sure every writer on top 1% of any script service wants a movie deal, but that is unrealistic.
Nothing wrong with a solid sample spec to win over peers, maybe the sample leads you to a partnership on something else that pays money.

Try posting a project on Slated, which has EP services among many other services and connections for viable film projects. You might be able to attract attachments.
