Whoo!
So, the shouts of joy are exclaimed as I have finally expelled my first pilot for Channel 101/2.
It’s finished. In the can. I realised that I might have a chance to make the August screening, and then realised the PTP is tomorrow/wednesday. Even with express mail, I doubt my little DVDs can get from Lowestoft to LA & NY in under 24 hours. Not even first class.
So it’s going to sit there until the September screening, which is a shame, but at least I know there’s something going up, and It feels as if I’ve taken that important first step. The staggeringly deep first step. It only took about 6 hours to make and it’s 3:39:- short, snappy and the focus group of three who have seen it so far laughed.
I’m not going to do the usual thing and whack it up on Youtube, at least not until September 30th or whenever it is rejected by the respective Prime Time Panels (Or not, if the Lord is smiling down upon us). What I can say is that it is called “Secret History” and is a hard hitting documentary. With buttcracks.
