Do you have enough footage to cut a promo from what you've shot of the pilot? That can sometimes help when looking funding.

Great idea, Ewan Dunbar!
I would think so, but the current director/producer won't do the promo. I'm not sure what to do to light a fire under him, without insulting him. It was hard enough to get him in the first place. Not many filmmakers will take on a zero budget pilot. I don't want him leaving it altogether, then I'd really be stuck.
Next question maybe would be what you would be willing to pay max to someone willing to cut you a promo?

I'm guessing you didn't read the above post. There is no funding as that, from everything read, is one of the producer's jobs to secure funding, not the writer, which I am. Or is that incorrect?

... That is correct.

Well, he knew from the first communication that there was no funding and it was his job as producer to secure the funding. We got as many scenes as possible done for free using locations I had secured. As the writer, I was very conscientious about utilising 'free' locations for different scenes. But there's some important scenes that need specific locations, and I've even suggested to him how to film them (from things I've learned in the past as crew on other film projects), but he won't do it. We started this in 2021, and the pilot is still not finished. :(

Emily A Dinwiddie say what? The producer won’t do the promo? It sounds like you have the wrong person for the job!

I agree. It's looking that way.
