Thank you! This is the first advice I’ve heard that made me feel empowered instead of intimidated. Now I’m re-inspired.

"... I'm going to botch this terribly. But, guess what- I love this so much, and you should love this so much. And I think you could sweep by."
Great point!💖

Sound advice. I'm wanting to pitch a show idea and need all the advice I can get

[AdonisMediaProductions]

Good advice in knowing that you are not dead in the water and there seems like factors can be in. your favour if you play your cards right. HAving a backup concept to pitch ( i would assume that Ideally including a script) s a great bit of info, it is clear they like you/your style if they wanted to meet, have something that may cater to a different demographic or subgenre.
