I'm killing an hour before my first meeting today. I'm only pitching the comedy, and the comedy pitch is simple and easy and I know how to deliver it. So I don't really need to refresh it in my mind. I have some serious homework to do on Exposure, but I don't feel like gearing up for that -- I need to sit down with that for a good long while and think it through. The lifestyle show is essentially placed. So I am just sort of gathering my thoughts, and debating what to do after I rewrote Exposure and after I finish polishing Medieval. Write The 8th Day? Or rewrite Unseen?
Which is hardly an urgent decision, but helps me clear up a sensation of having too much on my plate. I've been hoping to place Unseen with a Quebec producer and thereby get paid for rewriting it, but at the glacial pace of the Quebec motion picture industry in the summer, that hasn't happened yet. I'm also thinking that since I know how I want to rewrite it, I should just do so, like I keep telling everyone else to do with their scripts.
Quebec producers take their cottage season a bit too seriously for my taste. I actually have Telefilm money for The Eighth Day. But my heart is more in Unseen, possibly just because I've worked on it more recently. And, if I wrote it up, my Toronto agents might be able to do something with it in LA...
