In the Works

So far, the writers have been relatively easy for us to book.
We already have six friends and a couple friends-of-friends and one brother-of-a-friend-of-a-friend that have said yes to allowing us following them into a meeting.
Or two.
Or more (I hope).
It has crossed my mind that they have agreed because (and this is me negotiating my way through their thought process) we’ll never get a development executive or a producer or an agent to agree to our filming the pitch.
But that’s just not possible.
Won’t let it happen.
Producers and development executives will be a hard sell though.
Especially the higher up the TV chain gang we attempt to go.
PR departments.
Legal departments.
Bleah.
That will be the bulk of producing, I fear.
A lot of phone calls, emails and outright convincing for them to agree to being on camera.
But this…
This project…
Finally something I’m going to enjoy doing.
A film about television.
Its been too long since ACME has had something in the works.
I told Perry production should last no more than three months, as three month is all the time I really have until I’ll have to punt and begin pulling in actual cash again.
Perry says, Three months?
And called me insane.
Perry says, No way; it’ll take far longer.
Perry says very little after I punch him in the sternum.
One camera.
Three crew.
(Plus our revolving door of interns).
LA is an eventuality.
That eventuality makes me nauseous.
