I think 'handing' is a loose term but a physically accurate one. I was wondering what are do's and don't's of approaching an actor or director and asking them if they'd read your screenplay? And if they're interested in working on it?
I'm asking this as I've read conflicting information... approach actors and directors directly as you can make connections. And also if they said they were interested in your screenplay, it can put some light on said screenplay, hopefully attracting interest from other players in the industry.
But I've also read that approaching actors and directors is a big no-no as it should be done via your agents and the talent are far too busy to read over your screenplay.
What are your views? Does it make a difference if the actor is an A-lister or a Z-lister?
