Does anyone else have experience searching for direct clients in this field?

From what I understand, my best bet is to target TV networks and film production companies, but there are still a few unknowns:

-Should I only target companies from my source language, or can I target those from my target language (English) as well (ie. TV networks and film companies from the USA)?
-Who should I be contacting specifically?
-Who is responsible for making decisions about what subtitles to get translated within TV networks and film companies? Should I be looking for agents within the companies, or someone on staff?

In summary, I really just need some help figuring out who I should be making the calls/sending the e-mails to in order to try to get some direct clients. Perhaps just someone who really understands the TV and Film industries, post production, that sort of thing.

Just having trouble figuring out who to ask or where to look. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
