January 17, 2024: Round and round the projects go. What gets picked up, nobody knows!

Alrighty.  My aim this year is to write six pilots.  That’s one new script every two months!  Just finished up on my first and sent it my agent’s way.  He’ll read it this weekend.  The plan is to go wide with it in the coming months.  Just one more roll of the dice.

My agent also informs me we’re moving forward on the development deal for that monster show.

Meanwhile, movement on that indie horror comedy we’re looking to shoot in Bulgaria.  When the final pieces fall into place, we’ll be heading to Sofia for a 5 weeks of prep and 20 days of shooting.

Got some notes on the horror comic and will look to incorporate them in my rewrite of issue #1, which is next on deck.

An update on my action-adventure series.  We have our lead and our director.  We should be receiving a preliminary budget from a potential production partner this week.  Meanwhile, we’re looking to finally take it out to U.S. buyers.

Circling back on the Kpop/Sci-Fi series and the android murder mystery in the coming weeks.  Looking to nail down those pitch docs so we can finally take those out as well.

Waiting for word on that cosmic horror series that could take me back to B.C.  But I’m tempering expectations as it could all go the way of…

That series proposal I dubbed “Dark Ghostbusters”.  Some great initial discussions but when it became clear that the creator didn’t want to budge from any of his initial ideas, it also become pretty evident that I would not be a good fit.

Zoom discussion next week with that other production company about grounded sci-fi.

Still awaiting word on a possible development deal/rewrite for that small-town mystery.

While I await word about that OTHER small-town mystery.

But the one I’m really, REALLY excited about it the cozy mystery series that has engendered some interest south of the border.  Mom would absolutely love it!
