Welcome to the new site for Bortz Entertainment Law!
In the competitive landscape of film and television, getting your script or manuscript into
the right hands is a critical challenge. Most major studios, networks, and reputable production companies maintain a strict policy against accepting ”unsolicited”materials—work submitted by individuals with whom they have no prior relationship. This is where our firm provides a crucial advantage.
As an established entertainment law practice, we are recognized throughout the
industry as a legitimate and professional source for creative material. When we submit
your work, it is not considered unsolicited. Instead, it arrives with the credibility and
endorsement of a trusted legal representative. This distinction is paramount; it ensures
your project bypasses the slush pile and is reviewed by the appropriate development
executives and producers who are actively seeking new content.
Our role extends beyond mere submission. We first conduct a thorough internal review
of your material. This vetting process is designed to identify projects with strong artistic
merit and commercial potential. By curating the projects we represent, we have built a
reputation with industry leaders for submitting high-quality, viable work, which in turn
benefits every client we champion. Leveraging our network of contacts—from studio
executives and creative producers to development heads—we strategically place your
material with the companies and individuals most likely to embrace your vision and
move your project forward.
Our submission process is designed to be professional, strategic, and transparent. We
handle the business of submission so you can focus on the creative work.
1. Initial Consultation & Material Review: The process begins with a consultation
to discuss your project's goals and a review of your script, manuscript, or
treatment. We assess the materiall's readiness for the market and provide
feedback if necessary.
2. Developing a Targeted Strategy: We don't believe in a scattergun approach.
Based on our analysis of your project's genre, tone, and budget, we develop a
bespoke submission strategy. We curate a list of specific studios, production
companies, and financiers whose mandates and past projects align with your
material.
3. Preparation of Submission Package: Our team prepares a professional
submission package. This includes a compelling query letter drafted on firm
letterhead, a concise and powerful synopsis, and your creative material formatted
to current industry standards.
4. Formal Submission: As your legal representative, we formally submit the
package to our curated list of industry contacts. Each submission is personally
directed to a specific executive or producer, ensuring it receives professional
consideration.
5. Tracking and Follow-Up: We meticulously track all submissions and manage
the follow-up process. We field inquiries, handle requests for additional
information, and act as the primary point of communication. You will be kept
informed of all meaningful developments, allowing you to remain insulated from
the often slow and opaque review process while we advocate on your behalf.
