My plan has been to do some data mining (which I will publish here in a few weeks) after pitching to several demographics. I take meetings when I can, but mostly it's about actively networking daily.

Phillip E. Hardy, Prolifique Good to see you again. You know my plan, make money without working. I guess I sould have been an Agent instead of a Screenwriter.

After creating 17 hours with shorts and TV mini series, I won a prize as best director. And then 3 TV-movies. In total 22 hours with no-budget projects distributed by public access television stations. And now a new screenplay which I have translated into English and hope to sell. I mean, I have once again written in such a way that I can film it myself if I fail to sell.

Yair Avivi If you are talking about paid pitches here come up with a realistic plan because that is not a very good one.
Do you have another plan? I will be happy to hear

Are you referring to the recent Stage 32 announcement that stated; To successfully pitch your feature film project to the market, you need four key elements: a compelling synopsis and logline, a powerful verbal pitch, a visually engaging director’s pitch lookbook, and a well-developed business prospectus.
I have everything but the business plan. I won't have time to reserach that for another month or so as I'm working on a true story about a man who was part of the Dutch resistance, caught, and sent to a consentration camp before getting out and immigrating to the U.S. It's hard to do paperwork when the creative flow is so strong.

Yair Avivi I don’t have a plan. I used to send out query letters like everyone else. I called production companies and WGA Agencies every time I finished a screenplay. I attached a couple of well-directors to three of my screenplays. That is about all I ever did if you wanna call it a plan which would probably be a stretch. I guess I am more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of guy.

Dan Guardino Do most production companies even accept/look at query letters these days? I know Zero Gravity does, but seems like that process is just a Logline triage... Maybe now just hire an aircraft to drop your scripts over LA like in a PsyOps campaign.

Mike Childress That is why I probably had better luck calling them.

Dan Guardino From what I see on your resume, your plan works great.
