I like you. You've done a Hoop Dreams. Here's what you do to get a distributor. When they call you and literally beg to see a rough cut tell them to set up a screening and to expedite matters you'll get them something to see on tape. Remember, when they call, get arrogant.
Arrogance works in Hollywood.
Dear Mr. Hollywood, Over the past six years I've done a documentary, three music videos, two shorts and two indie features. I've compiled a good reel and am now putting together my first larger budget. I'm not really connected, primarily because the projects I've done have been shot in rural areas. If you shop their names with your package to the studios and don't get money to go into production, the agent and the actor don't care. Hollywood's an expensive game to play.
