Michael, that's a very perceptive observation, and it gets at something important about David's character. One of the questions I want to explore is what happens when a man who has experienced the abuses of institutional power begins exercising influence of his own. David arrives with...

Samantha, you raise a very valid point. Production budgeting and financing aren't areas where I have professional expertise, and I haven't worked through those details. At this stage, my focus has been on developing the story, characters, and world of The Black Sun. I recognize that the...

Michael, that's a very fair question, and I agree with your observation about The Walking Dead. It's something I've considered in developing The Black Sun. One important distinction is that The Black Sun has a definite narrative destination. I'm not envisioning a series that continues...

Mark, your observation about discovering something within yourself that connected your stories before you consciously recognized it really struck me. I've been reflecting on that, and I think the answer to your question is actually both. To explain why, I need to go back a little further than...

Michael, thank you for the thoughtful observations. I agree that a creative philosophy needs to demonstrate itself through the actual storytelling, rather than simply exist as an abstract concept. Both projects have scenes that illustrate exactly what you're describing. In THE BLACK SUN, David...

Something unexpected happened while I was going through my screenplay development materials. I rediscovered two creator's statements I'd written earlier this year—and completely forgotten about. The first, "The Architecture of the Machine," was written for my WWII supernatural television...

Thank you, John. That's an excellent point, particularly regarding Sleeping Beauty of Catania and my interest in the European market. I'm certainly open to working with the right producer, especially someone familiar with Italian or European television production. My preference is to pursue...

Thank you. That's a very good question. I'm actively pursuing representation for both The Black Sun and Sleeping Beauty of Catania, although I'm approaching their outreach somewhat differently. The Black Sun is primarily being pitched to American literary managers and management companies...

Mark, First, my apologies for the late response. It's been an unexpectedly eventful couple of days on my end. Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I'm glad the idea of the system itself functioning as an antagonist came through, because that's at the heart of what I mean by “administrative...

Norwest, I agree. I think there's an important distinction between using comparables to help communicate where a project might sit in the marketplace and using them to determine what the project should become. I'm comfortable with the first. I'd be very cautious about the second. One of the...

Adam Films, that's a useful perspective, especially coming from the distribution side. The Black Sun is actually being developed as a television series rather than a feature, but your broader point about positioning early rather than waiting until a project reaches buyers makes sense. My...

Norwest, yes. In fact, the timing of your question is interesting because I began a targeted manager outreach campaign this morning. Ten queries went out today, so I’m already actively pursuing representation. At the same time, I wouldn’t want that search to prevent me from having a legitimate...

Michael, I think my public-service and union background makes me particularly sensitive to this question. For years I've encouraged coworkers to seek union representation when dealing with consequential employment matters—not because management or HR are necessarily acting in bad faith, but...

George, that’s a very useful distinction, and I think you’re right. I’ve been thinking primarily in terms of which project best introduces me as a writer, but your point about asking what I want the person on the other side to do next adds another layer to the strategy. So The Black Sun may...

George, that’s exactly the strategic question I’ve been working through. My current thinking is to lead with The Black Sun. Of the two projects, it probably represents my writing voice most completely—historical drama, science fiction, supernatural elements, and the systems-oriented perspective...
