The producer who'd written a couple of weeks ago that she had pitched the romantic comedy to one of the main networks wrote tonight that the woman in charge read our initial material (one page synopsis, list of what's attached) and wants to see the script itself, so the producer is sending it over. I have no idea how much of a shot that is, but it's nice to see it got past a major gatekeeper. I don't expect to hear back for a month or more -- they are notorious for taking forever to read the script "this weekend."
I can't even figure out what I feel about this. Kinda "eh, okay, thanks, next?" Grateful that this one producer just keeps on being tenacious, because really, she is consistent and honest, which are two qualities among producers about as common as snow in the middle of summer in the deep south.

Wow. is that really what you think? really? because most producers I know are desperately struggling to get their movies made. and keep the director happy. and get the movie made. and keep the writer happy. and get the movie made. It is a miserable, highly unglorified, highly unsung profession...
