The "ask"

Hello! I trust this message finds you well. I recently graduated from the UNCSA Drama Department with a major in Directing.

Currently, I am submitting my first short film to festivals as I embark on my early career journey. I am reaching out to seek your guidance on identifying suitable festivals for emerging artists like myself.

Your expertise would be incredibly valuable. Could we schedule a brief conversation at your convenience to discuss this further? Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you.

Warm regards

Hey there. I’m happy to talk by phone. Let me know some good times to talk. I’m in the Pacific time zone.

I look forward to connecting. And continue your short film. That’s a big accomplishment! ☀️
