I have pitched as many as 35 studios in one day.
In 1999, I optioned the rights to an unreleased comic book called Dream Factory and have been on a quest ever since to get it produced as a movie or TV series. In this blog, I share with you the history, the near hits and the actual production notes as I finally move into production. #Thisismydream.
Having a network meeting at Comic-Con is not as cool as it sounds. It’s not a good place for a meeting.
Conferences are where you meet everyone in one place. That’s why I go to them.
Banff World Media Festival is one of my favorites. In a small town, Banff, just outside of Calgary, you can meet hundreds of buyers.
In this episode, I talk about how I pitched Dream Factory at Banff and how I created a particular pitch for Amazon.
