Congrats. What is this story about?
One of the success stories I have, working in film, media, fashion and music, is a job for MTV. I was hired by them to work on their show, MTV’s THIS WEEK IN NEWS. Another job in the journey of a working artist, but it was one of the biggest jobs I had with a big media/film/video client. Besides dra...

I have Asperger Syndrome, so I am a private person. But I am also a dog lover, so I use the picture of one of my dogs.

I’m a newer writer in the industry and I’m really excited—I recently got a request for one of my short scripts! It’s about 60 pages and I’m still polishing it up and expanding it to a feature (debating between two endings). The exec mentioned he usually doesn’t consider shorts, but said the premise...

Response times can really vary, even when a producer shows interest. The key is to be proactive after a certain amount of time has passed. I would definitely reach out after two months. Keep it positive, but active. Good luck!

I’d also consider the response—whatever it eventually leads to—a win in itself.
If waiting is holding you back from moving forward, I think it’s perfectly fine to reach out politely. The fact that the...

Expand commentLeonardo Ramirez 2 During my revisions of World Breaker, I realized the goal isn’t just to make the story speak—it is to make it sing. It has to move someone in their imagination as much as in their heart. The story itself is sacred, but the pieces that carry it have to be flexible, shaped until they’re clear, resonant, and widely communicable. The point isn’t to alienate; it’s to invite as many people as possible into that vision, so they can see and feel it as vividly as I do.
