How would I go about doing this?

Following on from my other thread about having an idea for a possible movie, I have been trying to get in contact with a [not very famous] film director to ask them some questions...

Basically all I want is some guidance from them, if they tell me that my idea is shit and not to persue it then fine, but maybe it could start the ball rolling if he has some friends in the industry or whatever.

I have been onto imdb and did numerous online searches but I cannot get any contact details for him, or his agent or anyone else for that matter.

He does however have a Twitter account (no FB), but I dont have a Twitter account and cannot be arsed setting one up. If I did set up a Twitter account, would it be possible to send him a private message on it or email him via Twitter?

Any other ideas on how to get in contact with him?

P.S - I am a bit weary about this because there are so many people out there who impersonate celebrities (although this guy is not that famous) but I want to make sure I get the correct person.

Any guidance much appreciated.

Thanks.

1) you would probably be ignored as it's a safe bet that he gets a fair few aspiring screen writers trying to get attention.
2) "I can't be arsed to set up an account", that's a great display of drive and perseverance Laughing

You can send a very short direct message via twitter. 140Characters.

write your idea into a short story

Would all your friends like it

would your mum?

cause most people would not be intrested in a film of traversing the globe on a 125cc, or any other bike related story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ End of thread. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd imagine people in the industry hear "Can you spare a few minutes to talk about... my idea for a film?" with the same relish that we hear "... about our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ?"

Side issue.

Turning onto the Kings Road this evening, I nearly ran over what looked like Michael Winner, only I think he had a ponytail.

But I couldn't be arsed.
Should I have tried harder?

Side issue also

Two weekends ago I was in London with my family. We were walking across Tower Bridge when I saw Kylie's kid sister Danni coming towards us. I didn't want to talk to her so I ignored the bitch.

Find some decent amateur actors who are just as keen to get their name out there as you are to do your project. Locate people doing film degrees and explain to them that you'd like them to help do it and they can put it on their CV etc.

Give everyone a share of any profits, and agree that before, say 5% per actor and crew depending on how many there are. That'll make it worth their while.

If it's someone very minor, sure it can't be too hard to find out details.
You could always try either rocking up there and waiting 'till they're done then approaching them, or calling appropriate people and seeing if you could arrange ten minutes of their time. If they're not used to it, they might actually like the idea.

However, if you want useful advice, why not go to a college that has an appropriate department - or at least talk to students at said college.

"Dear Mr Director man,

I have an idea for a film that I want you to take a look at, however, I could barely be bothered to create this twitter account, what with all the entering my email address and a password, it really fucking takes it out of me, and I haven't got all fucking day, I'm sure you know where I'm coming from. So, with that said, there's no fucking way I'm going to be arsed to explain this idea to you, so if I can just send it to you for you to read yourself....actually, that would involve some work on my part, what with the attaching of a document to an email and pressing "send", so if you could swing by my place sometime so I can present the idea to you....well, I was thinking more like you turn up and I'll leave a copy of the script for you to take with you, since me explaining it to you will require a presentation on my part, and if you think I'm gonna sit down and prepare an shit, well sir, you are out of your fucking mind, and I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but I have a serious rethink about how you approach people.

Anyhoo, I'll probably leave a copy of the script, if I can be arsed, somewhere you might find it. I would give you my address but I;m sure if your keen you'll find it anyway, plus you can't expect me to take time out of my day waiting for you to show up like your the fucking queen or something.

So yeah, whatever, you prick.

Yours,

Gazz".


I think that about sums it up.

Don't do it. If your idea is crap, it won't happen. If it is good, they could easily say they don't like it, and then create a film which is very similar but just different enough for you to not be able to sue.

I know it sounds cynical, but this is what happens apparently.

If you are into contacting celebreties, you'll alway make more of an impact by making your sentences by cutting out individual letters from a newspaper. Try alternating between upper and lowerc ase mid-sentence, or even mid-word for greater visual stimulation.

Don't forget that famous people have very busy lives, and often have to pay out for childcare. What better way to get into their good books than surprise babysitting?

Just get hold of their kids and make sure they are in a safe secure location. Be sure to tell them in your visually stimulating letter than you have their kids in your custody so they don't worry when they get home.

That's a bit of a stretch assumption. I prepare to stand corrected, but it appears to be "an idea" at the moment. I dunno though, I haven't signed any NDAs.

Trying to stay constructive, I'm sticking to my position that you have to be in the business to get on in the business. Implement an idea and people might take your next one seriously.

with regards to the lady pics, (i clicked. . .why did i click! Doh!) is it just me or are the ones with small bits of clothing on more attractive than the blatantly porno ones??? The one of her arse and suchlike stuck right in the camera with nothing on at all just looks like she's waiting for a vet. Confused

To the op, Peperami's idea about the trade mag sounds good. It'll probably have agents listed who may do the approaching for you.
