I lost contact with a producer at a big production company sometime at the end of last year. The last time I sent her an e-mail was Janurary 31st. I really should try again. She was really good with feedback when I sent her stuff before.
It's just hard getting in contact with producers. Does anyone know any tricks?

Find them, write to them.
If it's a good script, they'll take an interest.
Good luck!

By the way, and I'm only asking because I can't be bothered to look back, ha, how long did it take to get a reply from when you first sent material off? Cheers.

Hey, congrats Seefacts - good luck with that!
Some people may call me a genius - I haven't met any though.

About a month at first - I wrote, he emailed back.
At first I was told he had a full diary until 08. 08 came round, I emailed him chancing my arm, and it paid off.

Congrats, Seefacts. Well done. This is brilliant to read. Obviously, it's great for you personally, but also it gives me, and I’m sure the others on here, some hope too. I hope it all goes well for you!
I feel trapped - like a moth in a bath.

Thank you.
My fate rests with the BBC now. Lets hope they like it. Hopefully with producer and company backing, they might take an interest.

Top stuff, only just catching up since my abscence. I think someone said it best earlier on. You can still wish someone well while feeling a mild pang of jealousy - it proves you have the drive to want to achieve something for yourself too.

I shouldn't worry too much.
After all, it was you doing what you do that has got you where you're at currently.
Mind you, I can only imagine the knots the old (sorry, young!) stomach must be in!

A few weeks of planning, then about 4 months of writing and re-writing.
Longer than normal, but then it weighed in at over 100 pages and I re-planned and wrote most of the plot again from scratch so that's why.

I take it you were working full-time on another job as well? Longer than normal? My normal is currently a lot longer than that!
