Inquiries and Potential Opportunities
Sending a message through the contact form does not create a contract, partnership, agency relationship, employment relationship, production commitment, funding obligation, confidentiality agreement, or guarantee of a response. Film collaborations, producing or acting opportunities, screenings, speaking engagements, youth workshops, media requests, and other services require separate written confirmation or an agreement signed by the appropriate parties.

You are responsible for information and materials you submit through the website. You confirm that you have the right to provide them and that doing so does not violate another person’s rights or any law.
Please do not submit confidential scripts, treatments, creative concepts, private production materials, or other sensitive intellectual property through the general contact form unless Cool Heart Productions has first agreed in writing to receive it confidentially. Unrequested submissions will not create a confidential, fiduciary, or exclusive relationship.
You grant Cool Heart Productions permission to use the information you submit only as reasonably necessary to review your inquiry, respond to you, coordinate requested communications, protect website operations, and comply with legal obligations. Personal information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
