Hello! Still coming to you live from Revue. I’ve been trying to migrate everything over to Substack and making sure I haven’t missed any recent signups, but getting the full subscribers download list from Revue has been an issue. I have a feeling the last few hamsters running the wheels at Elon’s Twitter have bigger problems to solve. Hopefully the next one will be coming to you from Substack. I wrote my guest column for Ben Blacker’s Re:Writing in the Substack interface and I just like it better anyway.Quick work update: I finished all of my series pitches with the studio and producing partners. We did the last one the Monday before Thanksgiving, and we’re still waiting to hear back from one last place. We did nine pitches total, eight passes so far but we’re still holding out hope. It only takes one "yes!" Right? Right??The common refrain I hear in all of my meetings right now is, “It’s crazy out there.” If you’ve been following the news over the last couple of weeks you know there are a lot of layoffs and downsizing and leadership shakeups (Welcome back, Bob Iger). If you have a job, or you're on a deal, or you sold something and now you’re in development, count yourself lucky.I had another series pitch yesterday with some producers I dearly love (Hi, if you’re reading this!), and I still have two more to go before everything shuts down for the holidays. One is a feature pitch for an OWA and the other is an animated version of GODS AND MONSTERS. We’re going until the clock runs out and leaving it all on the floor.In the meantime, I started my supervising job. I’m keeping notes along the way of any new things I learn going through the pilot gauntlet and I’ll share them at the end. Because it isn’t my show I can’t really talk about it in as much detail but I will share what I can when I can.
