Yes, I think I do. (Finally.) A man arrives for work in the middle of nowhere - a very unusual place to do a fairly unusual job. Which, of course, goes horribly wrong. Which is a good way to start a movie, I think: your hero sets off for work, with no idea today is the day when their ordinary life is going to change forever....

Speaking of prep, I'm pitching a TV show on Thursday and I don't know shit about pitching a TV show. Frankly, I don't know shit about TV. Anyone have any handy pitching links?

Doug Eboch did an 8-part series on pitching, plus a few other posts on the topic: http://letsschmooze.blogspot.com/search/label/Pitching I'm sure some of that relates to TV as well.

I don't have links to specific posts at hand, but Ken Levine, Jane Espenson, and Alex Epstein all write a lot about pitching: http://kenlevine.blogspot.com http://janespenson.com http://complicationsensure.blogspot.com Best wishes on your pitch, Jay!

Thanks, Teddy, and Shaula. Much appreciated.

Jay, this may reach you too late but I just discovered a bunch of resources on pitching here. Break a leg today! Shaula
