Hi Scott - thanks for all the great feedback. Regarding this topic...

Would it be advisable to produce the pilot episode of a series (at my own expense), as opposed to only writing the script/treatment? Could that help open a few more doors? I know Always Sunny shot their pilot for next to nothing.

RE: "Be advised: If you are an outsider to the entertainment business and you think you can waltz into a production company, pitch them your idea, and set yourself up for a zillion dollar deal, think again. In most cases, the prod co will offer either a straight buy-out of your treatment and the underlying concept, no more than $25K, often less. Or some sort of participation deal, but that is rare for someone who is not already established as a TV producer." How does one format a treatment for sale to an Agent/Prod Co? Are there Agents/Prod Co's that are more likely to buy treatments? Love GITS. Keep up the good work. :-)
