But, I've kept at it. Now, I think I'm decent, but there's always room for improvement. Getting out of your comfort zone allows you to see what you're made of :)
Hmmm T.L....I can see what you're saying. I guess as you grow in your craft, so will the desire for executives in all realms to connect with you verbally or in-person.

Expand commentChaun Lee I can see where you're coming from, but I've been doing this for twenty some years, sometimes focusing on screenplays, sometimes on novels, sometimes my own productions. I have never cared whether executives connect with me at all. I care about whether they connect with the work. For some people it is all wrapped up into the same thing, for me, they are very separate.
Love that T.L. "I care about whether they connect with the work.". Thank you.

Expand commentI've pitched a tv / streaming services screenplays at a film festival - There were two industry people and I had about 4 minutes to pitch characters, genre, etc. Also, I would recommend reading scripts similar to your genre. I tend to write acts too long so I'm trying condense. Good luck Chaun.
