WARM (prior contact — reference it)

1. Abbadabba's — abbacharice@gmail.com (Abba Carmichael)

Note: you were redirected to marketing here before; you have Abba's number. So this is a re-touch, not cold.

Subject: Following up — want to feature Abbadabba's

Hi Abba,

>

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video — we connected a while back about marketing. Circling back with something simpler and free: I'd love to film a short feature on Abbadabba's. You're a Little Five Points institution and the kind of store people are loyal to for decades — that's a story worth a good 90-second video.

>

No cost, no catch. You get a polished reel to post however you want. I just want to point a real camera at the businesses that make L5P what it is.

>

Could I stop by this week to say hi and find a time?

2. A Cappella Books — info@acappellabooks.com

Note: they told you they're slammed until ~Thanksgiving. So go patient + warm, plant the seed.

Subject: No rush — a standing offer for A Cappella

Hi there,

>

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video. I know y'all are heads-down through the fall (I remember you mentioning it around the Gladwell event), so this is a no-pressure, open-ended note.

>

Whenever things ease up, I'd love to film a short free feature on the shop — your story, the events, why an independent bookstore still matters in L5P. You'd get a polished reel to keep.

>

No timeline attached. Just say the word whenever you're ready and I'll come to you.

COLD — email-ready independents

3. Criminal Records — madonna@criminalatl.com

Subject: Want to film a feature on Criminal Records — free

Hi,

>

Brandyn here with Ghost Coast Video. Criminal Records is one of those places that is Little Five Points — generations of people found their music and comics through that door.

>

I'd love to film a short feature on the shop, totally free. Your story, the crates, the regulars. You get a polished 90-second reel to post however you like. No pitch, no cost — I just think L5P's anchor shops deserve real video.

4. City Issue — info@cityissue.com

Subject: A free feature on City Issue?

Hi,

>

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video. I love what City Issue does — mid-century design has such a strong visual story, and most shops never get it filmed properly.

>

Simple offer: let me shoot a short feature on the shop, free. You get a polished reel for your own channels; I get to put my camera on a business I admire. No catch.

>

5. Grady Baby Company — contact@gradybabyco.com

Subject: Want to feature Grady Baby — no cost

Hi,

>

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video, here in the neighborhood. Grady Baby has such a clear Atlanta-pride identity — that's exactly the kind of story that lands on video.

>

I'd love to film a short free feature: your story, the brand, why it matters. You keep a polished reel to post. No pitch attached — I just want to document the businesses making L5P and Atlanta what they are.

6. BoccaLupo — info@boccalupoatl.com

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video. BoccaLupo has the kind of room and food that films beautifully, and I'd love to capture it.

>

Free offer: a short feature on the restaurant — the kitchen, the story, the neighborhood spot it's become. You get a polished reel to keep. No cost, no pitch.

>

Could I stop by this week to introduce myself and find a time that works around service?

7. Chi Chi Vegan Taco Shop — info@chichivegan.com

8. Apotheca — hello@apotheca.org

>

Could I stop in this week to introduce myself?

FINISHED (previously "needs detail")

9. Aisle 5 — info@aisle5atl.com

Honest angle: Brandyn walks past but the touring lineups don't pull him — the SFQP / community programming is the real draw. Lead with that, not "I love your shows."

Subject: A free feature on Aisle 5?

Hi,

>

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video — I'm in the neighborhood and walk past Aisle 5 constantly. Honest truth: it's not always the touring lineups that pull me, it's the community side — the Southern Fried Queer Pride events and that kind of programming. That's the room I'd actually want to document.

>

I'd love to film a short free feature on the venue and the events that make it matter here. You keep a polished reel to post. No cost, no pitch.

10. Foxgloves & Ivy — sales@foxgloves.biz

Subject: Want to film a free feature on Foxgloves & Ivy

Hi,

>

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video. Floral work is some of the most beautiful stuff to put on camera, and it almost never gets filmed properly — your arrangements deserve that treatment.

>

I'd love to shoot a short free feature on the studio — the process, the pieces, the story. You keep a polished reel to post. No catch, no pitch.

11. Adaptation Floral Design — contact@adaptationfloraldesign.com

Subject: A free feature on Adaptation Floral?

Hi,

>

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video. I have a soft spot for floral design on video — the color and movement do so much in a reel, and most studios never get it captured right.

>

Free offer: a short feature on Adaptation — your process and your pieces. You keep the reel to post however you like. No cost, no pitch.

12. Artfxwoodworks — artfxwoodworks@gmail.com

Subject: Want to film your woodwork — free

Hi,

>

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video. Maker work like yours is made for video — the process, the grain, the hands-on craft. It's mesmerizing on screen and most woodworkers never get it filmed.

>

I'd love to shoot a short free feature on the shop and what you make. You keep a polished reel to post. No catch.

13. Amore e Amore — info@amoreeamore.com

Subject: A free feature on Amore e Amore?

Hi,

>

Brandyn with Ghost Coast Video. A family-owned Italian spot with the warm, festive room you've got — the paper lanterns, the homemade ciabatta — films beautifully and tells a real story.

>

I'd love to shoot a short free feature on the restaurant. You keep a polished reel to use however you like. No cost, no pitch.
