The Timely Response

This whole pandemic has transformed the entire landscape of the entertainment industry. Companies have either downsized or closed altogether, long-term staff abandoning careers with the frequency off lemmings leaping of icy cliffs. 
 
Even more reason for today’s topic speedy responses to all entertainment business.
 
Case in point. For anyone not familiar with this segment, this is where I highlight a mistake and tell you not to do it. Sounds simple enough, right? Apparently not for me.
 
December 18, I pitched to New York production company what I thought would be a damn good story. I had sent them a story bible along with a detailed synopsis of the pilot and first ten episodes. They responded favorably and requested a script when it was completed.
 
To say I worked hard on three 30-minute episodes is a bit of an understatement. But I wanted to make sure everything was perfect. 
 
I emailed the complete script on 4/21. 
 
Cut to crickets. The loud, obnoxious crickets from an empty field. And then came the email.
 
“As I am sure you’ve heard, there have been some recent shake-ups in the industry. Major buyers are re-evaluating their strategies, and as a result we are shifting our focus to our projects already in development to wait out the storm.” 
 
Well, there you have it. In my defense, I was attempting to make it as perfect as I possibly could. Now, would I have been luckier if I had turned the script in earlier? Perhaps. I may even be one of the lucky have had one of the lucky projects already in development. Four months to completion just happened to be way too much time. 
 
Lesson learned.
 
Get on it. They ask for something, get it to them as quickly as humanly possible.
