#TNTML Pilot Update!
SOOOOOOOO we're moving and groovin with the pilot script. Amazing how much goes into a pilot. For reals, I am learning so much. Like, did you know even for just a pilot, you have to have an outline for an entire first season? Talking about A and B story lines ... where each character is going ... and yada yada. I feel like that should totally make sense in my noggin, but I'm also Buddhist and a very "in the now" type person. Fortunately, I have the most active of active imaginations, @brycless and I work incredibly well together.
Last week we sat around, watched a show or two for inspiration, and basically banged out the entire first season of TNTML. Of course we're not married to it at this point, but at least we have something for when we meet with the Hollywood god again this week. Super chill dude, such a trip to be working with him. Talk about an honor ... and talk about just embracing all of the present moment magic. I didn't expect to host a screening, then get a message from the person who did the movie, have lunch, and then 8 months later have a project for him. So weird ... all about the networking baby! Stay open to all opportunities. Always.
I digress ... we have to put together this whole package to present to the networks before spring. That includes of course all of the marketing opportunities and super nerdy stuff on my end. That might sound like a long time, but it's totally not. We really don't have a lot of time at all. Springtime in LA translates to being as early as February. Given though, this is like having Steve Jobs around helping you with your little computer company ... I know the Hollywood god definitely has our back, but it doesn't mean we don't put in our end of the bargain, and all of our end of the work. I didn't come this far, have all of these things happen, and literally every.single.day. put my life on the line for something if I didn't know it could work.
Super cool, super stoked ... and yeah! I'm excited. We're going to be meeting up with him this week, and he's going to give us the first round of notes on our second draft of the script. The first draft was sent to this el nerderino who is a big big BIIGGGGG TV writer. Like for reals, big shows ... stuff you know ... he and @brycless are brothers from another mother, so you know how it goes. He gave us a lot of invaluable information on timing, and jokes ... etc. So fascinating. This process is sooooooo fascinating. Everytime I see a new show come out on TV, even sucky ones, I will release a small tear, and take my right hand and place it on my heart while mouthing "I feel you brother ..." Wowzzaahhss!
Such an exciting time though! I keep having to remind myself this is happening ... wow. just wow.
