The broadcaster LOVES the Pitch Bible for my latest show. Absolutely LOVES IT.We've (my team and I) spent most of the weekend working out a rough budget for the series. It goes to the broadcaster - as I figure it, right about now...
And there's nothing I can do. It's out of my hands. They 'get' the creative and now the million (behind the scenes) things that I haven't thought of - and have no control over, come into play:
- What's out there on the market, similar to my show? Well, we know there's nothing like it - or the broadcaster would have told us by now.
- Is our budget too high? Nope. We're confident that we're within the price threshold that they can afford.
- How's the market? It's been tight - but the broadcasters have to start spending money on new programming. Otherwise they'll get stale - and the other guys will have the exciting new shows.
JUST SO YOU KNOW - Although things are starting to buzz (show-wise), we're still taking Pitch Bible commissions. If you're interested in having a Pitch Bible that sells, get in contact with me sooner - rather than later!
Good luck! Hope you get what you want out of the deal.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chaz! What I really want right now is to have a TV show in production.
ReplyDeleteUpdate: Steve here. Thought I'd bring you up to date about the show. Its presently sitting in "Development Hell" meaning that it's on a shelf and probably going nowhere.
ReplyDeleteThe rights are going to revert to me at some time in the next few months. I may shoot some webisodes and put it to establish it as an intellectual property.
That - is the reality of the biz. You do your best and you take every day as it comes.
