A couple of months ago I had an idea for a kids TV show which, as these things do, grew and grew inside my head until I had no choice but to put pen to paper and start sketching. Yesterday I had my first pitch meeting, with a rather well known UK kids channel.
It actually went better than expected. They seem to like it, were very attentive and asked lots of questions (and appeared to like what they heard). The main problem, however, is that they are unable to entirely fund their own animation projects and, as yet, haven't found a partner with which to do so.
I'd created a 20 page bible - mainly thanks to my good friend (and illustration supremo) John Kelly's suggestions - which I left with them, so we'll see what they say. If nothing else, the lady I saw said she would try and help me find some contacts to take it further if they couldn't, which was really sweet of her.
So we'll see...
In other news, I'm told that the 'romantic comedy' project should be being optioned any week now...
