To whom it may concern,
How would I go about contacting Bioware to discuss intellectual property/ideas for the Mass Effect film?
I've got an email, an address, and a phone number but I know I probably will not be taken seriously.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Nick

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but nothing of that nature is handled in house, as the BioWare Edmonton office is a game development studio, not a film production studio. Likely, what's happened is that an actual film production company has licensed the Mass Effect property with the intention of developing a film about it. If you have ideas for the film, you would need to contact those people who are doing the actual film development.
And here's where I'm going to burst your bubble again. They will not listen to you or any ideas you might have. In their eyes, unless you are already a successful film producer, screenwriter, or director, you are essentially a nobody, a non-entity. What they do or don't do with the film, and how they might develop it, is really none of your business, just as System of a Down won't care about your song lyrics, Stephen King won't give a hoot about your killer wombat idea, and Zak Snyder isn't interested in your movie idea about musical lamps in kodiak country.
Lest you think this is way too harsh, imagine how you would feel if a dozen strangers called you up from out of the blue to suggest where you go for lunch and what you should eat., or who you should ask out on a date and what you should say. Would you give any of those strangers the time of day? Is your lunch or dating habits any of their concern?
Not that I could stop you if you really, really wanted to share your idea with someone "in the biz," but if you have film ideas--serious ones that you want to develop--I would recommend getting involved in the industry and familiarizing yourself with the process before randomly contacting developers with a single sentence, or single paragraph, idea. Sorry.
