DUST OFF

The saying "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it was meant to be" is also true of certain film and television projects. TV, in particular, tends to see this more often as changes in leadership at the networks seem to occur almost every other year. This, in turn, leads to fresh eyes on projects that might have been turned down by the person who cleaned his or her office just last week.

Unfortunately, this works in reverse as well. A colleague of mine recently lost out on at least two projects because of a change at the top of a major cable net. Now he's scaratching and clawing just to stay on the 'go to' list.

This same person is in charge of decision-making for several cable nets owned by the group, so a series we tried to sell just a couple of years ago now has a good chance of getting some traction. It helps that the series subject matter is evergreen. Now it's just a quick re-cut of the pilot footage to present a fresh reel.








Now this is the kind of 'dusting' I actually like!
