What's your process when pitching something to a potential collaborator? In the past, I've tended to work with people I tangentially knew, so the process was a bit more colloquial as we had a common point of reference.
But for my current project, I'm looking to go a bit wider in attaching the people I want. I'd give them a call if I could, but I only have an email for the first person I'm wanting on board.
My current plan is to keep it short and sweet. An email no longer than a paragraph, with a strong logline to hook him, and then ask if he'd like to have a look at a basic one page treatment and an excerpt of the script.
Would this be a good approach? Or would it be better to attach those documents in the first email? Or is there another approach in general?
If anyone has examples of their own successes in attaching people to their projects, that'd be useful too!
Cheers
