I love that a British actor with one produced episodic writing credit sparked this bidding war. It’s proof that it’s all about the story - it doesn’t matter where or who it comes from!

I’d better get to work on a pilot or two, though I have no ideas for thrillers xD

Certainly not limited to pilots, Banafsheh Esmailzadeh. 7 spec features already sold this year. And I'm hearing about 2 more that are being pushed around town as we speak.

Great, 2024/25 was well spent for me then. I was obsessed with creating a range of IP, with a focus on TV and a couple of movie scripts.

As companies reduce their pilot season slates they must turn to the spec sale market and actually greenlighting series vs. years of voluminous development.

Mike O'Neill we're hearing more and more execs asking for comedy pilots. Folks are done with the doom and gloom. Now's the time to entertain the masses. Crime, legal and medical procedurals are also coming back on cable network.

Geoffroy Faugerolas I came in 3rd place this year in the Scriptapalooza Original Sitcom Pilot Competition - but my agent reps me for features...not sure who to contact re: my TV script. Any advice?
