A Producer's Guide to Cold Submissions

I'm a film producer and financier. I get cold emails every day from people pitching me their movies. Many of them are just bad.

When I get a cold submission, it's easy to tell whether that person does this professionally. The way in which the email is written - the content that is included in the email - is a dead giveaway. It determines whether or not I take their email seriously, or ignore it to focus on more front-burner matters.

Whether you're a screenwriter, director, or indie filmmaker, cold submissions are a powerful tool to get your project in front of producers, managers, agents, and production companies. But crafting a successful cold email isn't easy—most filmmakers make critical mistakes that result in their emails being ignored.
