Subject: Documentary pitch — THE INVENTORY / Meridian Films
Dear [Name],
I'm writing to introduce a documentary project that may be a good fit for your slate.
THE INVENTORY follows an auction house specialist through six weeks of cataloguing a dead collector's estate. Every object she lifts out of a box opens a chapter of a life his family never knew. It's a film about grief and privacy and the things we choose to leave behind — told entirely through the work of identifying, valuing, and dispersing what someone owned.
Clara Denton at Meridian Films is producing. The director, whose previous documentary screened at IDFA, is attached and available. We have a full treatment and a three-minute director's showreel ready to share.
Would you be open to a 20-minute call in the next few weeks? I'm happy to work around your schedule. I can send the treatment ahead of the call if that's useful.
Thank you for your time.
