  Best strategy?

  Posted by Antonio Atzei on December 22, 2008 at 12:58 am

  Dear Cows

  First of all Merry Xmas & Happy New Year to all of you and your families.

  Now the question:

  Let’s say that you had a video interview and you want to try to expose to TV Networks (well that’s the best possible scenario).

  The topic is the life of as men and his family whom left Italy in the 70s jumped on a 747 bound to Sydney Australia. My aim when I started this project wasn’t to look for the guy who became a millionare or discover the cure for boldness using natural products, nothing even close to this kind of “scoop”. It’s the average mr Joe life story, as simple as that. I know it may not be very commercial although I loved to hear what the guy had to tell! So as I do LOVE and whatch a lot of TV and docos are on top of my list I thought to give it a go and do an interview.

  My thought about strategy in exposing more people was to produce a dvd and send it with e letter to marketing dpt etc.

  I will send copy to local government in Sardinia
  (where I did receive some kind of exposure in the regional newspaper) and dignitaries in his home town.

  So again, I didn’t want to look bad presenting this interview to a potential buyer. Any basic rules that I need to follow?

  Thank you in advance is first of all for your very honest opinion about it …..

  ciao

  I’m sorry Steve…. ha ha

  Sometimes I do forget to pay attention how to translate my thoughts in english. That boldness statement was only as a statement for the sensationalist kind of scoops. And if this keeps not making sense don’t waist anymore of your time…

  Rds.

  Well, are you showing it to any festivals? That seems to me to be a simple first step, entering it in festivals and contests.

  Antonio,
  You are NOT wasting anyone’s time. We are a rather friendly group who can all laugh together. Some of us who speak English as our native language can’t make sense of each other’s comments.

  However, your “cure for boldness” remark still has me in stitches. I can think of a dozen people on the COW who need a “cure for boldness”. Thanks for a great laugh.
