Getting Repped?
Hey talented folks!
Had a question about getting repped - I am a working screenwriter (got my first professional gig in 2020 and have mainly been working in TV movies since (I know, not the coolest thing but it pays the bills) and I just wrapped production on my first Netflix film late last year. (PM me if you'd like me to share my full resume). I've never been staffed but I have sold a spec and am WGA eligible. The last two holiday seasons, I have written smaller-budget holiday movies for Hulu.
I started as an actor and have filtered through what little contacts I have in that world but nothing has panned out. I haven't had any success with cold emails to reps. I don't want to do TV movies forever but they are providing stability at the moment. I have a bunch of specs/samples in other genres.
My last lit reps were also my acting manager and they were comically useless.
Not sure if I should wait for my Netflix movie to come out?
Or just keep doing my TV movie thing and wait for reps to come to me?
Any advice welcome!
Thank you all!
