Main Character is a son.

The story is like Godfather meets Mad Men...

I'll come back and tell more once I submit this shyt...just so if and when it gets put on TV...nobody can say I was lying...

Oh and if anybody got any questions on how the television game works these days or writing in general or just copywriting and protecting yourself...ask away...

How hard is it to get an agent to represent you.

Have you ever worked as a staff writer?

Never worked as a staff writer, know staff writers...the shyt sucks...I know people that work for Tyler Perry...made me not wanna be a staff writer...

About to hopefully get a producer credit on a potential sci-fi anthology series though...look out for that...

I don't have an agent...kinda hard to get an agent as writer without being a staff writer or already having a body work...

I mostly do music and web designing and graphic designing

Once my webseries drop...Ima have to get an agent though...

I dont think I could ever work for Perry. shyt seems like it would be suffocating over there.

Thats wussup tho bruh. Keep me updated.

Edit: How you feel about Luke Cages writing? Im considering doing a spec.

I heard Tyler Perry just steals people's shyt and put his name on it...

I think Luke Cage is cool...I liked the whole Luke Cage as Jesus thing..

You a writer? You can PM me and we can just talk writing shyt...

I don't know how people get put on these days...without staff writing...I just got lucky...and kept meeting people that liked me and needed me.

I probably need to do staff writing though...

I know you can submit outside scripts and get it put on a show though...I might do that...

 

[LinusCaldwell]

You're also a graphic designer...? Do you have some pics of your work

Do you also write articles/ movie/music/tv reviews or nah...?

Yea thats always the move. Always gonna be a pain in the ass working with a whole bunch of people tho.


I think Luke Cage writing could have been sharper. Gotta see what season 2 has to give it a fair look.

Great thread. I'm currently working on a sketch comedy pilot that I'm going to start shooting in March any suggestions on how I can submit it to networks?

20 pages?

That seems really short.

What type of preparation did you do?
