After leaving ImageMovers, I sold two pitches to Fox Atomic, which I then wrote for them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Going into 'Details' magazine to pitch concepts for a potential photo shoot was one of the most nerve-wracking things I had ever done. I didn't really know what one did in a pitch, how they were structured, etc., and that freaked me out big time.
I wanted to make a lot of good pitches.
I've sold scripts in the past, and also a TV pilot that didn't get made, to Fox. But yeah, I've been writing for a while.
I've got four pitches now. I don't have to use them all the time, but I've got them in my pocket now for when it's necessary.
I pitched and I played the outfield.
I can't tell you the number of people who pitched something and have no idea whom they are pitching it to. They don't know the background of the investor.
Later, I could take something off my slider and I could make my fastball sink, so I really had four pitches.
In the minor leagues, previous to 2008, I took a lot of pitches. I prided myself on on-base percentage. I made sure that I made the pitcher work.
It took a long time to get out of my contract. The producers thought I was negotiating for more money.
I've written about 15 screenplays and they all sold - they were all sold on pitches.
