A few weeks ago I decided to pitch my new TV show idea to a producer here on Stage32 Pitch Sessions that was looking for the very idea I’d been carrying around with me for a few years…
A few days later another producer showed up also looking for what I was offering, so I pitched to them to…thinking t...

Well played George!
Thank you everyone. I hope we get to work together soon.
You're welcome, George Linardakis. Looking forward to working together.
Maurice mentioned that we can extract a short story from our feature script. So, that's what I did. I made a short from my script, JUST ONE INCH which has won 16 awards so far and called it THE SCRIBE. It just won Quarterfinalist in its first competition. So, thank you soooo much, Maurice!
Fantastic news! Congratulations, Georgette!
Thanks, Stephanie, but I wasn't trying to get a pat on the back for me. Maurice is the one who gave me the great idea.
Fair enough, but 16 awards is nothing to sneeze at! And yes, Maurice has a keen eye and deserves credit for turning your facet of story into a separate, award-winning creation. Henceforth, I will celebrate you both!
Thank you, Stephanie O'Leary.
Very kind of you, Stephanie.
I got my second pitch feedback, and she loved it, said it even has promise. Her only complaint was the budget since it’s an animation. So hopefully I can figure out with adding that to the pitch and getting every episode down for the first season!
Great news about the pitch, Justin Groats, and invaluable information regarding the budget.
Great news!
Congratulations!!
Great news! :)
That's awesome, best of luck!

Expand commentIt is all so subjective - BUT it had to be frustrating to hear they would ask for the script and then pass. Maybe they were looking for a certain genre and passed? But the comment about age was ridiculous when "Golden Girls" is still on television and more movies about older women continue to be released. I hope you find the "right fit" and move forward.

Expand commentI would like to nip something in the bud here. I think there's a HUGE misconception on this post about what a "pass" means on a pitch or coverage. It doesn't mean your work is not good. It doesn't mean your work is not worthy. It just means your work is not for that person. Ego has no place in pitches or coverage, and I know that's a violation of human nature. It's hard to put your work out there and watch someone who doesn't know your heart be critical. But it's not to discredit you or your work. It just means that for that writer and their resources at the time, they can't see it through to being a successful project. So sometimes a pass is a compliment. Sometimes it's a reader telling a writer that they think their work is so good, that they don't want to take it on as a project without giving it all they've got. Keep in mind...there's a reason why it's called SELF esteem. It's not a reader's job to tell you you're good enough. Because you were before and you will be after. Also keep in mind that networking is important, and that even when you're not networking, you're networking. And there's no industry where that's more the case than in Entertainment.

Expand commentBeing in business as a writer for over 25 years I understand the difference between professionalism & rude, unprofessional behavior. And what I experienced during that pitch & after was unbelievably rude, nasty and childish arrogance. Also, when someone tells you in a pitch they are going to request to read then flip flops it's frustrating, but has no bearing on my self esteem. The business person in me comes out & I find it disappointing and a wee bit of a red flag. Also, in these pitches a pass means they don't even recommend your project be read by anyone else. Which can be can be confusing when the pitch itself seemed to go exceedingly well. No one on this thread seemed to take anything personal, nor rely on a reader (Ironic when they don't actually read) for anything other than the pitch. I'm not really sure where in the thread that was confusing.
