Hi, Stage 32 screenwriters.
I want to share with you my recent experience with Zero Gravity because I believe it's vital for you to not give up. As many of you know, I want my screenplay Soul Mated to be optioned. As many of you know, I sent surgical query letters, and I also sent them to ZG. They are the few who are willing to receive unsolicited query letters.
I saw Eric Williams, ZG owner and partner, webcast at Stage 32 and felt compelled to send a query letter to ZG. In two days, I received an email from them asking to send my script and a signed IP Copyright. I did that, and it was a month ago. Now, I decided to do a check-in about it, and I sent an email asking about. They replied to me the next day, telling me it will take between 4 and 6 months until a manager is in contact with me if they are interested. If 6 months pass and I don't hear anything, it means they aren't interested.
I stayed pleased with their reply for me because, as we know, they receive tons of mails and queries, but they had time to reply. It means they are professionals and know what they do. I like that! I don't like when I send emails and people don't reply to me. Occasionally that happens, and when it happens, I forget about it, because it means they aren't on the same page as me. But ZG replied.
I am sharing my experience to encourage you not to give up, but to have patience, ask questions, send emails, and be present. A simple "check-in" can make a difference.
For me, it was important. Even if ZG isn't interested in my script, they were professional with me.
I hope the information will help you.
Don't give up!
