Hi all,
How do you feel about managers who want to be included every step of the way, creatively?
I'm talking about:"send us ideas and we'll tell you which one to do"; "send us the 1st act once it's written and we'll give you notes on it- and then you may continue"; "don't do it as a thriller: do it as a comedy. comedies sell right now"
I just realized that a lot of this control might come from the fact that managers produce - so they have a reason to tailor something to their liking/sensibilities.
But I think it's a pretty unappealing way of going about writing, and it feels more like they're the Boss and you're the lowly writer, being told what to do.
I am sure there are different degrees of this, but I really want to hear from those who are repped. How do you do it?
