Working in the Film and Television industry is a hard field to get a head in. Within that field probably the hardest area to work on is being a writer. Writers must be a self loathing group, why else would you try to make a living at it.
The big script sell that was building up for the last eight months for Wheels of Fortune has fallen through. At times it looked like a sure thing, then it sort of seemed doom. Then there was a glimmer of hope, but finally the producer decided to pass. Which was too bad.
We hit the ground running with that one and it looked like we were going to be very lucky making a sell on our first time out. Too keep my positive energy up, I do tell myself that I am lucky to have even gotten the script on to the desk of a big producer. let alone have discussions with him about it.
Wheels of Fortune isn't dead yet. The local producer who had been working as a go-between for us, still has a few ideas to milk some life out of the script. So we can only hope that something can be done with it.
The next step is to get an agent who can knock on doors and hawk the script for us. Its a strong story and can have a life for the right team.
Mean while I am working with my local producer to secure some development funds for a new script idea, or two even.
Keep moving ahead and never be discouraged.
