Three  Ways to Approach Industry Professionals in Film and TV


In my last post, I shared  how not to approach industry professionals. In this post, I will share three ways to approach industry professionals. 


1️⃣ Do Your Research 


Before reaching out, learn about their work.  Have they worked on a project recently? Mentioning their past work shows that you respect their expertise.


2️⃣ Be Clear & Concise ✍🏾


Experts are busy! Get straight to the point in your message—explain who you are, why you’re reaching out, and what you need from them.




3️⃣ Offer Value 🤝


Why should they take the time to speak with you? If you have a platform, let them know how it benefits them (e.g., exposure, engaging with your audience, industry networking).
