I just heard that a certain writer everyone is chatting about bought a huge ranch - and then just happens to write ~70 different shows set on a ranch, which he conveniently rents out to the studio for filming the shows they've paid him to write? Is that right?

This might seem obvious, but It's not the surface level of IP that makes it work (when it works), it's the emotions/themes. Don't remake Back to the Future - remake the concept of teenagers realizing their parents were kids once too. Tell new stories abt classic themes.

Mergers are what public companies do when they can't organically generate the revenue growth needed to satiate shareholders. It's growth by acquisition - pads the pockets of shareholders and executives - is 100% unsustainable - and a sign of late-stage collapse for an industry.

Hot Take: Not only should there be chairs on film sets, there should be beds - masseuses- true standardized breaks (no working while u eat) - and an honest attempt at 10 hour days (and advance notice when that won't be possible). Filmmaking should be a job - not a labor camp.

Can u write feature/TV scripts w/o outlining first? Yes. Is doing so, also skipping the development of a key writing muscle that, as a professional, u will constantly be required to use by the ppl paying u? Also yes. Learn to be a professional writer by acting like one.

Had a productive meeting with producers this afternoon - solid notes to take into the next iteration of the outline before (hopefully) going to draft. Ended the call with a comment I've always wanted to hear - "We're really excited about this story and want to make this movie."
