Hello, my cousin and I've been writing scripts for a long time and now we have decided to send them out. We have signed up with imdb pro and picked out some contact information. Now my question, would it be beter to send the scripts directly to talent agents or rather to a talent agent representative? Has anyone used imdb pro and received positive feedback? We'd love to hear your success stories :)

Pelin;
For starters, I wouldn't send scripts to anyone. Instead, I suggest you send brief query letters to your intended recipients. I've used IMDb pro for several years, and I've had a few successes connecting with directors and producers without going through a talent agent. Try to make your query stand out and send out lots of them because the success rate for solicitations can be very low. I wish you the best of luck with your efforts.

Agree with both Phil and Dan. Start with a query letter and get permission to send before just sending in a script. Here’s a recent webinar on writing top notch query letters that may be helpful: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/How-To-Write-A-Query-Letter-That-Gets-Y...

Hi Pelin, we also have a sample query letter you can take a look at - just send an email to success@stage32.com if you're interested.

As already said, never send your script to someone that do not ask for it. The script will be trashed without read. Send a short query letter, and if they like the logline they will contact you.
