John Tarnoff, who has been accepting email queries for about a year, is seriously considering a project that was introduced to him with an electronic pitch. This advantage of wider access is also why K. Muffett accepts email queries. Hollywood tends to feed upon itself. You may have noticed that a lot of stuff looks and sounds similar. For many companies this is not an accident.
Money is the objective.
I am not opposed to making money but the most important focus is the work itself. It is difficult to tell with only a few sentences whether a project sounds interesting. Therefore it requires asking for more information, getting submission agreements signed first, etc. If the email were filled every day with pitches, it is likely I wouldn't read many. It will require some thought as to how best to utilize it so that it is not overwhelming.
