Dear Ms. Tyson:


My new film, The Truth About Goats, would be a great addition to your summer film festival. This drama is a story about two boys growing up on farms in the English countryside. They are best friends, but their families have always been enemies. Their families don’t know they are friends. The story is a touching tale of a friendship and how it grows in adulthood. The evocative soundtrack and the unpredictable ending will keep viewers talking about the movie long after they’ve seen it.

I believe that my movie is a good choice for the festival because it will appeal to both men and women. Unquestionably, it will appeal to all ages as well. I have created a short preview of The Truth About Goats, which I have attached. I hope that you consider this movie for your film festival. The preview could also be used on your website to interest people in the movie and the festival.


Sincerely,


Jack Fermier
