Here's two websites that are invaluable in getting exposure for your completed screenplays. Inktip will post your logline, synopsis, and script for a reasonable fee. Producers and managers who join can fill in a search with specific requirements and voila! your project will pop up. Only industry subscribers can see your listings. I have optioned a feature and two shorts through Inktip (and you can list as many loglines for shorts as you want in the free public listing part of the site). A preferred newsletter gives you direct access to companies looking for specific projects.
Another great site is Virtual Pitchfest where you can send queries to producers and managers that subscribe to the site and have listed their preferences re: genre etc. Now this is a little pricey unless your really do your homework and target the right company. Your query will be sent, then notice of their response will be emailed to you. You have to be on your toes and have your screenplay in polished condition if it's requested, and work on your query letter to get the biggest bang for the buck. The site shows a sample query letter. My odds have been 3 out of 10 pitches result in a request to send the script. They'll never know you're sending it from Tasmania!
