Day 2 of WIFT-T Development Incubator

Today was Day 2 for Emily and I in the development incubator.  I got to ask some challenging questions in regards to financing and budgeting which is my area of expertise.  But still learned something new from John Griffith, as I try to do always in any situation.  Heard about the case study that was Book of Negroes from Damon D’Oliveira – what a dynamic speaker he is! And then had my mind blown in the afternoon with the big black hole that is packaging with Isabel Gomez-Moriana.  What it means to find a packaging agent and take your film to the next level.  And most importantly, got confirmation from other participants that our film is hilarious.  Whew! Always a good validation that others find you funny. A great day indeed!

Today, Emily Weedon and I started the WIFT-T Development Incubator sponsored by NBC Universal and Telefilm Canada.  What a terrific opening day it was to work with Jamie Goetz who read and gave us notes on our script with lots to think about in turning a good script into a great script!  So many things to consider and so many suggestions to wade through.  It’s wonderful to have a seasoned story editor to give us feedback on our project as we move this project into full course press!
