psst. hey. hey there stranger.

i know you probably mean well, but please stop sending unsolicited pitches to writers/directors/creators.

no one will ever read them. like legally. we cannot.
i know, i know, you've had a dream of EXACTLY how the movie/show this creator is working on should go since you were four years old. you have a really great idea, it would be PERFECT, why not shoot your sh--

no. do not do it. it goes in the bin.
and if it went in the bin in their Instagram and Twitter DMs, it definitely also went in the bin in their Facebook messages, and now you're blocked or muted.
I love you dearly. Definitely write things and keep writing! But if you have a pitch on a property of some kind, please, you gotta go proper channels. The social DM cold-call approach is never, ever, EVER going to do good things for you.
