That sucks, but don't give up... Mario Puzo wrote a book and he also could not find an agent, no less a film maker, he went through more than 350 agents before one "took a chance" with him... all the other agents said the book was too long, too ethnic, too gory, too trite, needed too much work, and so on... the agent that signed him on was successful and the book quickly became a film saga, The Godfather... never give up...
