A few days later another producer showed up also looking for what I was offering, so I pitched to them to…thinking t...

It is all so subjective - BUT it had to be frustrating to hear they would ask for the script and then pass. Maybe they were looking for a certain genre and passed? But the comment about age was ridicu...

I'll just count my wins & be grateful for that. And hope others reach their goals too.

Michael Elliott

That's the ticket Maria. Ignore the noise.

Brandy Camille

I would like to nip something in the bud here. I think there's a HUGE misconception on this post about what a "pass" means on a pitch or coverage. It doesn't mean your work is not good. It doesn't mea...

Big thank you to Maurice Vaughan

Maurice mentioned that we can extract a short story from our feature script. So, that's what I did. I made a short from my script, JUST ONE INCH which has won 16 awards so far and called it THE SCRIBE. It just won Quarterfinalist in its first competition. So, thank you soooo much, Maurice!

Stephanie O'Leary

Fantastic news! Congratulations, Georgette!

Georgette Skolnick

Thanks, Stephanie, but I wasn't trying to get a pat on the back for me. Maurice is the one who gave me the great idea.

Stephanie O'Leary

Fair enough, but 16 awards is nothing to sneeze at! And yes, Maurice has a keen eye and deserves credit for turning your facet of story into a separate, award-winning creation. Henceforth, I will celebrate you both!

Maurice Vaughan

Thank you, Stephanie O'Leary.

Georgette Skolnick

Very kind of you, Stephanie.

Justin Groats
Got my second feedback!

I got my second pitch feedback, and she loved it, said it even has promise. Her only complaint was the budget since it’s an animation. So hopefully I can figure out with adding that to the pitch and getting every episode down for the first season!
