How to approach
Name the agent in the subject line. Their becoming-a-client page asks writers and directors for a cover letter, a CV and examples of their work, and asks you to state clearly which agent you are seeking representation from. That last instruction is the one people skip, and it is the one that routes the email to a person rather than a pile.
Send electronically. They state that submissions made by post will not be considered at all, so a printed script is not a stronger gesture, it is a discarded one. Six weeks of silence means a pass by their own account, which at least makes the waiting finite.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: writers and writer-directors with work to show and a specific agent in mind. The requirement to name an agent is a filter for whether you have actually looked at the roster, and it is not hard to pass if you have.
Who should skip it: anyone sending a generic approach to the agency at large, and anyone posting a hard copy.
This is one of three genuinely open UK agency doors in this directory, which makes it worth more care than its short guidelines suggest. Spend the time working out whose list your work belongs on, and say why in the first line.
