I just moved to L.A., spec scripts in hand, and knowing not a soul immediately started sending query letters to only the top agents in town. I would read that they represented Chris Carter or Lydia Woodward and think, sounds good to me.
Of course, I had no credits and thus no chance in hell. But an assistant who read me "responded to my material." When he was promoted to agent he brought me on board.
