Pitch & Sell Your TV Show

Busy day today. We have consults on drama and documentary/reality shows. We’re finalizing a bid to work on a hispanic project out of D.C. We just wrapped 4 commercials. Plus, we’re wrapping the rewrite/rebuild of our popular TV Pitch School. The new version is incredible.

The last 5-7 episodes of Nip/Tuck were the best. Since they didn’t have to worry about getting picked up for another season, they concentrated on the characters and great stories. One episode was shot on just one set in a therapist’s office. Just talking heads. It was the best character study we’ve ever seen. Check out the final episodes on www.Hulu.com.

Cynopsis Kids, one of the leading newsletters for kids entertainment, ran an article about our deal to produce B.C. and Wizard of Id series. http://www.cynopsis.com/editions/kids/031010/#B.C. and Wizard of Id being developed for film and TV

I spent part of today working on a client’s reality treatment. It was good, but the extra touches make it great. We’re looking forward to hearing their thoughts.

Because of all the press we got on our B.C. and Wizard of Id projects this week, we had a TV & movie production company call us. We had a good meeting with them. Now they are putting together a package for us to review. Cool.

We recently added a new webinar to our site. We have had an interview with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, as a part of our larger programs for years. Now you can access this incredible interview about South Park online for only $10. Go to www.HitMakerSeminar.com

The Producing Animated Films webinar with Max Howard went great last night. The event was 3 hours and 15 minutes long. It was 12:45am my time when we finished. I’m tired but I feel good.

If you missed it, the entire event was recorded, slide show and all. You can register for the replay online at www.HitMakerSeminar.com

Animation Magazine just ran an article on our latest project, animation series of B.C. and Wizard of Id.

NBC premiered Seinfeld’s The Marriage Ref after the Olympic closing ceremonies. Evidently, they only shot the episode in the last 2 weeks. Not a good sign. They announced the show early last fall.

We saw the sneak trailer at MIPCOM in France last October and it was awful. Did anyone see the episode on Friday? What did you think?

A contestant on the ABC reality series Wipe-Out died from a stroke which came on during a stunt.

The production does not seem at fault as he had a pre-existing condition which he did not admit to producers.
