Actually, the pitch fest felt more like swinging wildly at a ball for the first two days, followed by four consecutive home runs on the last evening. All told, I pitched to ten producers and or managers, and received four requests for a script, and one request for a one-sheet. Not bad odds, 50 %, and better than the last time I did this.
So, yes, Hollywood IS hungry for good stories! Hopefully they will like what I have written. I have been told that I'm "Good in the room", probably because I'm a chatty sort, and also have theatrical training. My challenge is to get my writing up to the level of what those I have pitched it to expect it to be. Fantasy v.s. reality here. Sometimes when pitching to buyers I feel like magician (when its going well), and/or a door to door saleswoman (when its not).
Well, back to the trenches. I've got to finish that Detective show pilot before I lose my inspiration.
Omo... LOL actually that sounds uber exciting. I can't wait to hear how it goes XD And good luck with your writing btw
ReplyDeleteThanks, Punk Chopsticks! Much of the writer's life is spent waiting ... waiting for inspiration, and waiting for the powers that be to get back to you after submissions. I am hatching a new screenplay, with past lives, time travel, etc. That's the best way to spend your waiting time. Will post if I ever sell anything!
