Bottom line:

IMBd will give you contact information. That is all it is set up to do.

As a "member", your contact information and experience will also be available. Sadly, chances are that no one will seek you out. It's up to you(or me, or any "artist") to use it to our best advantage.

For me, as a screenwriter, I had two scripts that I was trying to pimp. One was a Big-Budget thriller. The other was a Low-Budget "Indie".

So I had two spreadsheets ready to go when I used my 30 day trial. I then sent out emails queries. 100 queries for each script.

Had 12 requests for the big budget. 20 for the low budget. One of the requests for the low-budget worked its way so high up the food chain that I actually dared to dream for a few days:-)

It was kewl!

So, get yer ducks in a row. IMBd is a contact tool. Use it properly:-)

Oh, and for what it's worth....Back in 2009, when I had two scripts produced by a VERY "Indie Production Company"...Some of the actors who were cast have their first IMBd "film credits" as being in one of my scripts...A couple of them have gone on to bigger and better things:-) We keep in touch via e-mails...But no matter how far they've traveled, I am on their IMBd page as the screenwriter of films that enabled them to be able to join IMBd as an actor with an actual
"Film Credit"...One of my few claims to fame:-)

Oh dear, I fear I ramble:-)

IMBd is kewl... But is only a tool....

Use it wisely:-)


Satchel was right. Something is gaining on me.
