I'm putting this inquiry on a few different boards because I would like to get a few different perspectives.
I am having an issue. I made a contact with a "Story Editor" at New Line Cinemas through a writers conference here in Portland. We have been emailing and phoning back and forth for over a year now. I would not be pursuing this if in fact he had "passed" on my screenplay. He has not. He actually told me that his readers "responded" to my screenplay and that he wanted to read it and see what sort of "response" he got from it, and that he would call me within the next few days. That was three months ago. I have emailed him three times and phoned him twice since then, with absolutely no response.
I know nothing happens quickly in this business. I know this man could be ill, or a family member could be ill, but I feel as if I have been more than professional with him, and that he has not reciprocated. I am at my wits end. This is, obviously, a very big thing for me, and I don't want to blow it. But I also don't want to be treated like a chump (for lack of a better word).
Might anyone have some words of sage advice for me? I want to keep this contact, but at this point, I would appreciate a positive or a negative from this gentleman… just something to tell me that I've been considered and passed, or that he's still considering… anything at all!
Regards,
