• Toto’s agent – the band, not the dog
• Zombie Strippers
• Save the Cat
• A Logline – Verbs plus Nouns plus Irony
• The value of the Table Read
• The pitch: One piece of paper with a logline, genre, page count, have you gotten coverage, beginning, middle and end of the movie. Having Coverage is important.
• *note: WGA is NOT the reason we don’t discuss deal points, they are NOT money cops. We don’t do it as it’s TACKY…
