Thanks for the interview Stephanie. And congrats!! With this being your first completed script, was it difficult managing expectations of producers and agents you met with when/if they asked what other completed scripts you have?

Thank you! I have found that producers and agents aren't so concerned if you only have one completed script, as long as you have a store of other ideas at the ready. If you can pitch a few projects, both film and TV, that you have been thinking about but haven't finished yet, I think that is OK. It's best to make a short list of about ten projects that you can pitch if people ask you what else you have. Try to have a few that range in tone (so you can pitch to big studios as well as smaller independent companies), but make sure all your ideas still interest you and stay true to your voice. I hope this helps! -Stephanie
