Somebody left an excellent comment here that was too long-winded to keep, but brought up a GREAT point. How do you get Hollywood to read your script if you don't already have an agent? While it's true that Hollywood (rightly) refuses unsoliceted submissions from amateurs, they also love, love, LOVE to discover new talent! And that discovery can be YOU when you genuinely build a QUALITY relationship with them - directly through social media. To be clear: this is NOT about you bugging them on Instagram to read your script. It's the opposite! You are contributing to their life with a passion-driven conversation. You know, film lover to film lover. Watch the video for details.
Ok, in theory sounds good, but it's disingenuous to pretend you just want to talk to film when the reality is you want them to look at your synopsis. And they know what you want. Best to be honest. In my view, go after the producers who do what you do, and just pitch them online or ideally in-person. This idea of building a "relationship" can only happen if both parties have an interest in the same thing. I got a meeting with a an established British producer a few years ago. How? I sent out a blast email that featured a teaser trailer. Believe me, visuals are more effective than words.
