Sleep!

These days it needs to be a graphic novel first or something written by Dan Brown to get any script attention. Cool that you at least got Rick Schroeder good for it.

I agree. I think Demon Squad was a graphic novel when Stracynski picked it up. I think i was a 6-7 years too early. Nowadays every channel has a supernatural/high concept fantasy tv show or three.


When I was writing this everyone was cutting their budgets for such ventures.

You could partly do some of that, but there are like 12 genres, so you'd have to do some serious shoe-horning.

Even if you only wrote it ahead of time, it'd still be writing 10-12 short films, and hoping that the elements that you have to put in will work.

I've done like 6-7 48 hour film projects. Yeah, some people must definitely cheat. Even if you don't cheat, the competitive advantage from having lots of money, lots of contacts, and drawing the right genre for you team is intense. You wouldn't want to do a 48 Hour Film with concerns about it being a fair competition. You just do it for the challenge.

I've never cheated, though I have planned like crazy for each genre.
