Any advice on getting pitch meetings…without having an agent?
My sister and I have been developing a few projects (both series and features) we’ve produced a few projects in the past, but all of our connections are in live/variety work.
Any advice? I know things are slow right now, but trying to make some headway for when things do pick back up.

Are you a member of the Producers Guild or Stage 32? Both have insights and can be helpful with this.

Also know that people at the top of the television food chain don’t expect things to go back to the large number of programs in the past. With consolidation the expectation is that we will stay at 35-40% fewer projects.

Worked with an agent on my first deal, great. Second deal now and I’m getting my license myself. I’d like to use her as a backboard for ideas and don’t mind giving her a “finders fee” or something but would like to capture the commissions myself. What would be the normal way to have this convo?
