I'm all set to go with making a feature, I've put feelers out, I've aligned a great team of people who love the idea and want to work...now I have to find a producer and subsequently money. And I know about finding producers who have worked at your level, whose work shows an interest or fondness in what your story is, but no one ever, in any article I've read have explained HOW to find these producers. Say I have a list of names gleaned from IMDB, the credits roll on other films and named dropped in said previous articles; how do I contact them? How does one approach them in a professional manner? 'Their production company' everyone says but where do I find the contact information for even that? It's sort of like when a job won't hire you because you lack experience.
A lot of you have been where I am, so I'm looking to see what advice you had, how you approached it, where to look, sadly that big book of producers isn't made anymore so...help a fella out?
