It may be difficult for you to contact a known / well established producer or a director directly. Ofcourse you can try and get their mobile numbers and try to call or message them. The chances of getting through to them or getting a reply to your message are remote. But you can certainly try. Fortune favours the brave at times.
To understand things in a wider perspective let me tell you that our Mumbai film industry is by and large a disorganised industry. In Hollywood you could have tried to get yourself an agent and the agent would have fixed up your auditions and meetings. However in the present day scenario locally, we have general Casting agents/ directors. You need to be in touch with as many of them as possible. They will hopefully call you for auditions, if and when you suit a particular character. You will be given a scene a day in advance or maybe an hour before the audition. You have to do your best in the given time. ( So what does this tell you ? You have to be a terrific talent if you want to perform impromptu or get yourself ready in an hour and stand in front of the camera with all your lines memorised and your expressions sorted out et al. )
If you are selected, then you may get to meet the Chief asst. director and then finally the director and/ or the producer.
Some additional advice : Do not just wait for a big break in films. Try and tell casting directors that you are open to meaty roles in television. In television you may get an early break. At the same time audition for ads. Ads pay well. It may help to pay your bills until a good break comes your way. Ads also make for a good showreel which can be presented to those who are casting snd if To polish your talent you must do theatre. Theatre keeps you on your toes and you are razor sharp as an actor, polishing your skills day after day in rehearsals of the play and then infront of a live audience. Sometimes a good performance in a hit play becomes your ticket in to the movie world. There are many instances where a good play and performances have attracted good directors to the theatre to watch the play. Many actors working in movies today were discovered in theatre.
I have given you the facts of today’s times and also suggested how you can go about showcasing your talent in various mediums of expression. Its all up to you now. i wish you the best.
The above advice is given to you assuming that you are an actor. If you are a writer or director, i would have to answer your question differently
