Not long ago, I had a studio take out a pilot to networks. Everyone passed. But there was one sliver of interest from one of the nets. The executive at the network really enjoyed it and mentioned to the executive at the studio who submitted that I should come in for a general.
A couple days later, my manager contacts the network executive to set said general. But they responded by saying that they were putting a stop on all generals because of staffiing season and that we should check back in a few months.
So my questions:
Is it normal to put a stop on generals during crazy season? I'm guessing yes, but you never know...
Or was this a polite blow off instead?
Is it worth contacting the executive again even though it's a few months later and possible they might not remember?
And my big question: Can I still land this general even though I want to leave my current manager and get a new one? Keep in mind I've had no direct contact with the network executive. It's all been through my manager and the studio exec.
