I was talking to a woman who's worked as a reader for networks and prodcos today. I showed her my latest TV pilot logline and she said she wouldn't change a word, that it's killer and that anyone would be interested in it: network, cable, netflix, etc.
Back to reality, I still don't have a manager.
I asked her what she thought of Blacklist and she said that although they're legit that some people in Hollywood don't like it because there's the chance that everyone in town has seen it and it loses that air of exclusivity.
I've put other incarnations of this pilot on BL and gotten 6s and 7s with an 8 for premise once, but nothing came of it. This is a page-one rewrite.
She thought I should enter it in tracking board or Austin TV pilot contests. I've never entered a contest in my life or even thought of doing so. Is that really the way to go?
I'm newly relocated to L.A. and I know a ton of industry people, but I don't find that that necessarily means they'll read your stuff.
I'm all over the place with this post, I know. I'm just looking for guidance besides "keep writing." I really do love this version of my pilot.
