In this episode, Jennifer talks to Adrienne Rose White about pitching and selling TV shows. Adrienne shares her journey, her creative process, and what has worked/not worked for her. She provides insights into crafting effective pitch materials, navigating the dynamics between production companies and networks, and building authentic connections. They talk about the importance of celebrating every step of the process, staying resilient through rejection, and paving one’s own path to success in this ever-evolving entertainment industry.
At the time of us releasing this episode, both SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are on strike together for the first time since 1960 and we here at EAC are in full solidarity with both of these unions and what they are fighting for. Changes must be made - there is power when we stand together.
With that, this episode covers things that you cannot necessarily put into practice at this current time in the industry, but its content is still incredibly helpful and relevant as you are creating on your own during this time, so when things hopefully do come to a favorable conclusion, you have all these tools in your back pocket.
