Do the lists generate many phone calls and e-mails?
Anecdotal evidence suggests that while some quarterfinalists receive up to a half-dozen contacts, others do not receive a single call. Reaching the semifinals seems to generate more calls and e-mails, 25 or more on the high end. One recent finalist reported more than 100 phone calls and e-mails. Many were from agents and managers, but more came from development people at production companies and studios.
