Distribution and Management are hot topics: When what we really need is mutual respect and relationships. Ideally we meet distributors and or managers and procure a relationship over time. Develop mutual respect and perhaps some day work together. Kinda like dating before marriage. So with that said. This is my goal, I don't expect a manager or agent to pick me up tomorrow, someone who I have never met nor heard of and they have never heard of me before. Nor Do I expect to show a distributor my work in progress and expect a sale in the same moment. Developing relationships and offering each other benefit is how business works. IMHExperience

You had me with that first line, Jimmy. Couldn't be more true. Look forward to more of your contributions. Cheers.

thanks man, just talking about with the realities of a 30 year career built on networking.
YES, so true! It is somewhat of a hierarchy business and environment, and everyone gets most excited when they get to work with an indivudual on their next rung tier--I mean, don't you? They look forward to working with that rising screenwriter, popularized director, or even a notorious actor-- next up on their personal ladder. So it's up to aspirant to position themselves there on that next rung. Maybe this built notoriety only means getting your name in a publication they read off their desk, or an industry site they visit online.
