The process...


Our boardroom table covered in the cards for a re-write of one of our biggest scripts. Said script will be going out to several large producers (and a few studios) in H'wood this June so we're hard at it, getting the current draft (#4) ready for a major re-write.

I've been working with a co-writer lately and have found it to be a very rewarding and refreshing process. Two things I find especially helpful, 1) the accountability that comes from knowing someone else is waiting for you at your office to write. This helps immensely with the urge to procrastinate. 2) when you find yourself 'stuck' you have someone to bounce ideas off of, and you get immediate feedback which, I've found, cuts the time that it used to take me to solve a story problem in half (and then half again).

In addition to the above re-write we are developing two original TV drama series concepts as well as getting ready to shoot elements for one (maybe two) feature documentaries this summer.

Add in delivering elements for another documentary that we shipped to a distributor last month as well as prepping for a looming (and possibly life-changing) syndication deal for one of our long-running biography series (which will also mean a 3rd season in production for this fall) and our current talk-series (for an outside client) that's taping its 400th episode this week, and you get a fairly hoppin' production office.

Thankful for that and eager to see what this next season holds.
