i've had this idea for a TV series for a couple of years, but i've been focused primarily on feature film. my one time manager/producer thought this series/pilot was a good idea, but i wasn't ready to go into it, because i really like writing big sci-fi features. action is where my heart is.
anywho, i'm thinking about the projects i'll complete in 2019 and this idea is still nagging at me. whenever i have told people about this idea, they've (audience) been very engaged and interested. (i realize that doesn't meant the series would be ) so, at least i have reason to believe the "content" is interesting enough to hold an audience's attention.
i have some questions about using personal experiences as a bases for the show, because it involves things i know about people who have been a part of my life. this would be a fictionalized narrative, but i've got some really good dirt. i mean you almost can't believe it.
i would only be using, expanding upon, and fictionalizing based on my own empirical knowledge. not digging into anyone's life. what can you use of someone else's person's life so that you don't have to be worried about someone thinking they can cash in or someone feeling a law suit is in order? I don't think this would happen.
if i write something i absolutely want to make sure i retain all rights and that whomever might be interested in the project would also be protected.
with that in mind, names would be changed. similar situations, but not the reality.
any thoughts? this question has always been the thing i get stuck on, but i think it might make a good female driven ensemble in the vein of Big Little Lies without the high income/affluence angle.
any thoughts? advice?
PE: just realized i probably placed this in the incorrect category. Will, maybe this should be moved to the TV writing section? sorry.
