Yatta! Pilot outline completed. It clocks in at a robust 23 pages, but since it’s the pilot, I wanted to include some nuance and detail to the characters, their interactions, and the myriad storylines. It’s dynamic, character driven, and does a nice job of introducing the world and its colorful players.
With that done, I switch gears to review my proposal for that action-adventure series in advance of Thursday pitch-meeting-that-really-isn’t-a-pitch-meeting-but-more-of-a-walk-thru zoom chat. There’s a lot of humor in this one which always makes the telling so much easier.
My video contribution that verbal pitch I agonized over last weekend has apparently received the thumbs up from the rest of the team and they are now at work, assembling and editing. Looking forward to checking out the final product!
With illustrator Henry Fong’s brilliant work on Project F complete, I impatiently await that final round of notes that will allow me to polish and complete the package – pilot and series overview. And, of course, the sooner we complete the package, the sooner we can reach out to some of the Kpop talent on my short list. Like every facet of pre-production everyone, I’m sure, will have their opinion – but I’m laser-focused on collaborating with talent that: 1) Is stylistically suited to the series, 2) Has a deep enough discography and 3) Can move the needle both in South Korea and internationally. As I said, I have a few targets at the top of my list and it would be an absolute nightmare if I don’t land them.
Also awaiting word on our pitched reimagining of that classic SF series. There’s only one possible for home this project so this either flies or fails.
Still working on the pitch for that Dark Matter miniseries. Was distracted by a few other things but almost done. Hoping to send Jay’s way before month’s end.
Sadly, things have gone quiet on the TimEscape front. I am incredibly frustrated because the project, and the two scripts, are a lot of fun and, I have no doubt, would find a passionate fan base. Going to talk to my partners on this one about next steps. I’m thinking either go the comic book route so that, at the very least, I’ll be able to tell my story. OR, just publish the overview and scripts online for your perusal.
Someone suggested Matzo Ball. It should have made the list.
I honestly curious.
Today’s Yes/No…
