Given that I don’t plan on having a finished film until January 2013, I believe it’s too early to seriously contact anyone regarding my film’s distribution. Too much networking would be counterproductive now, when I have nothing to show. Here’s a list of some people I’d like to get in touch with once 15 Minutes of Faye is completed and is ready for distribution. (Where appropriate, I’ve already contacted some of these people.)

I really wanted to find contact info for Anne Walker-McBay, who has produced most of Richard Linklater’s films, which I admire very much and are somewhat similar to my film, but she's not on Twitter and I couldn't find her e-mail address anywhere.
I also plan on contacting relevant members of the panel of judges who awarded us our grant from CMF.
