Hi all,
This is sort of an addendum to my last post regarding my manager.
As I mentioned, she read one of my scripts that, admittedly, is different from anything I've ever done. I'd written it with the help/feedback of my former manager.
Her response: "I like it a lot but I'm not sure what I can do with it." Ohhhhkay.
She asked if I could make it a "bigger" story. Of course it's all about money, I get that. But the script is pretty tight. I'm struggling to come up with a solution to make it "bigger." Pyrotechnics? What? As it stands, it's a fantasy/love story.
Have any of you received feedback like this? And if so, any suggestions other than to rewrite the whole damned thing? (I really don't want to do that.)
Also, would you just ask your rep what the hell they think you should do?
Second question: How often do you interact with your manager. I sometimes feel like I'm working in a vacuum and that if I don't hear from her, then I should just instinctively know that "nothing is happening."
Should I hit her up weekly, ask, "Hey's who's reading? Who passed?" Etc.
As usual, thanks for your help, guys. Have a great weekend.
