Hello!
I'm Michael Brandt (no, not that one). I started my career as an actor after graduating from the University of San Diego/Old Globe Theatre's professional theatre training program. Since the pandemic, however, I have shifted my focus to trying to land on the writing staff of a TV show in New York City. Other than entering writing competitions (which I've been doing fairly regularly), I'm not sure how to get my work in front of the people who can help - literary agents, managers, etc. I don't seem to be able to find the right contact information to send a query letter, and I don't have the connections to point me in the right direction.
If anyone has any advice, recommendations, or stories from personal experience, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
Michael
Hi, Michael Brandt. You could post your work on your profile. Producers search profiles on here for projects. Click the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and select “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu. Scroll down to “Loglines” and click “Add/edit loglines” to the right of “Loglines.” You can also post your work on your profile this way (near the top where it says “Add a Logline”): www.stage32.com/loglines
You could also pitch to executives, managers, etc. through Stage 32's Pitch Sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions). The Pitch Sessions are mainly to get feedback on pitches, but members have gotten managers, signed shopping agreements, etc. through the sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).
And here are some blogs about networking/making connections: www.stage32.com/blog/tags/networking-41

Thank you. I just added a couple.
You're welcome, Michael Brandt. I rated your loglines. Both series sound exciting, especially Aftermath!
