-
- Man, even the good
news with Collins Avenue has a layer of confusion and
concern. Ugh. Let's start from the top shall
we:
-
- "Hey
Adam
-
- The initial
meeting went well at Trutv and the president of our
company, Jeff wants to show a bit of you
interviewing celebs.
-
- So we want
to keep the reel that we have and add a few of the
interview segments into it. Which extends the
length of it, but he feels like it is what they
will need to pitch it in their next
meeting.
-
- I think from
1:18 – 2:13 on this video:

- Is pretty
good. Maybe lose the dharma and greg
part.
-
- Then add the
divorces & age bits at 4:42 – 4:54 &
5:06 – 5:33 as well. That would help beef up
the reel and show the different types of things
people would talk about and still keep it light and
funny.
-
-
- Let me know
how long you think it will take to get it done, and
if you have any questions."
-
- So, yay! Great
news...
-
- ...except. Is that
where this is going? Collins clearly passed on the
interview show and it turned into this challenge show.
The contract I signed was clearly NOT for the
interview show... so what happens if TruTV ends up
wanting that? Do we renegotiate? I guess we cross
that bridge when/if we get there but to say I'm a
little annoyed is to say the least. I was always
passionate about Hats & Minigolf (duh, clearly),
they passed on it and had a different genre which
I just accepted and if it ends up the interview
show is what worked in the first place?
FUUUUUUUUUUCK.
-
- Anyway,
I made the new reel...
-
-
- ...which makes me
miss H&M even more. Either way, we've certainly
moved to another level. I kind of understand the
process now, the president of TruTV (I think Chris
Linn) now takes it to his development team and pitches
to THEM. Isn't this odd without me having met anyone?
Or sat down and talked to even Jeff Collins?!?!? I,
just, don't they want to vet a motherfucker before
they get to this stage? Strange, but I've stopped
wondering why things work the way they do in this
industry.
-
- I just keep
buidling. Onward.

- Adam
