Thanks, Matt! I just think it’s like any other creative art – some people will get it, some won’t. But we have to keep writing. I disagree with the notion that “every good property gets made” because everyone has a different notion of what makes a “good property.” Does that mean good story or commercial or will make money in distribution? To my mind, it’s more about someone who’s able to get something made loving it enough to get it made and hanging in there over the years that will take. And all the people who push it to that point. But, I am a firm believer that good writing speaks for itself.

What gets made, really? A producer friend of mine once said: every good property gets made. And then to prove him wrong, I recently covered a script that was the internet’s version of “Crash”. I thought it was amazing, and when I shared the log line with another friend who was in international sales they said they passed on it! (International pre-sales are a standard source of financing). I was shocked. SHOCKED. It had Oscar contender written all over it. And yet, he said that thing that makes me want to jump out of window: it’s just not commercial. I can’t sell that. Nobody in Romania is going to get it.

*sigh*

But, I keep slogging away… oh, why? I write comedies. The Blogger is right.
