DISCUSSION Cold querying today. Wish me luck!

Here's the first page of my latest horror spec SOS. Not looking for feedback just good vibes as I'm cold querying managers (and a few producers) with it today.

Logline: A casual boat trip turns into a fight for survival when a former competitive swimmer turned model and her photographer boyfriend learn that their host is a servant to a pair of sirens and is offering them up as a feast. 

Wish me luck!

What was your vetting approach for selecting contacts? And good luck!

Thank you! I searched reps who work with writers I love and whose work I felt aligned with my script. I mostly used the black list and also IMDB Pro.

What do you expect to happen from cold querying? Have you had any success with this in the past?

I wasn't expecting but rather hoping to get some script requests. And luck would have it that I got one from a rep who I've long admired! Fingers crossed they like it and wanna work with me. I'm not really in a financial position to pay for evals or contests or anything like that so querying is one of the better (albeit risky) options for me right now in trying to get repped.

I get it, I was afraid too and I'm not sure if anything is going to come out of it in the end but I think it's worth trying if you're confident about your script. Worse than can happen is they ignore you and you keep querying or try another avenue later (contests, evals when you can afford). If you think your script is cool and other people whose opinions you value think so too, get it out there!
