My second piece is getting some heat, got over 100 script requests.
Not as good as the other one with over 180, but still better than nothing.
A first producer got back to me, offered me an 18-month free option with WGA minimum guaranteed. Not bad since I'm not a WGA member, but the 18-month thing.
How do you decide when to accept an option?
It could be that this would be the only one, or I could get another one a week or two after I sign his contract.
This waiting game is a frogging craphouse. You have no idea what producer does. Did they even read the script? Should you hit them with a follow-up email. If so, when?
Any suggestions?
The producer has three movies made for Netflix and some other stuff.
My first optioned spec went to a veteran producer, a multiple awards winner.
This second title is way better, darker, but I don't want to wait with it till eternity.
