NBC, FX and Reveille: TV Finds New Revenue

I asked NBC chairman Marc Graboff, FX Network president John Landgraf, and The Biggest Loser executive producer Mark Koops where they think television revenue will be in the new economy. Read what they said at Gosh!TV:

http://www.goshtv.net/?p=227

On the Paramount lot I see five new TV series in production: NCIS Los Angeles, Big Time Rush, Community, Men of a Certain Age, and Three Rivers. Despite some NBC scripted series going away to make room for Jay Leno in NBC prime time, and TV budgets being crammed down by a sour economy, a lot of new TV shows are starting. Meanwhile, the situation in studio film production looks grim as the high cost of money grinds production to a halt. Here's that story from my friend Dennis Toth at R&R Consulting:

http://www.goshtv.net/?p=181

Gosh!TV, published by ScreenPlayLab co-founder Gabrielle Pantera, has a new look. I'm tremendously impressed with Gabrielle that she's launched a news magazine on top of working full-time at a major TV production company. Gabrielle is at her computer writing at 4am every morning, then goes into the office at 9am to work all day on reality TV.

Gabrielle's writing includes interviews with best-selling authors and reviews of new books from all the top publishers. Here's her 4-star review of the book Cleopatra's Daughter and a personal interview with author Michelle Moran:

Gosh!TV covers entertainment news, technology and business. What do you think of the new Gosh!TV website? If you have any positive feedback or suggestions for improvement, please let me know.

*** Bankroll Film Finance Seminar - What You Missed...

On October 24th, Bankroll book author Tom Malloy presented a seminar on how to bankroll your own film to a packed house at the 99-seat Lost Studio in Hollywood. Almost half the people there I recognized from ScreenPlayLab.

Malloy described his experiences as an actor-producer financing his own films. Rather than wait for a casting director to cast him and the studio to greenlight the picture, he's reached out to high net worth investors to back his films. His latest film, Love and Dancing, stars himself and Amy Smart.

Malloy says he likes to have film projects in the $250k to $6M range, that less than $250k would mean he's working for free and that over $6M is unlikely to be profitable without studio backing. In pitching individual investors, Malloy says a key technique is to pitch to the vested interest. For example, a major investor in Love & Dancing is the owner of a chain of dance studios. And, Amy Smart loves to dance. Accepting the role meant she'd receive weeks of training from a top ballroom dancer.

*** ScreenPlayLab Mixer on Nov. 12th, and What You Missed Last Time...

*** Goodbye Boxbe and Comcast Email Users...

The approach of some companies presenting themselves as anti-SPAM services is to block all mass mailers. This will reduce email in your inbox, but with the side-effect that you no longer receive useful free newsletters. Boxbe and Comcast are a couple companies that send me automated emails saying I'm failing to meet their (secret) standards for email transmission. These warning messages are vague, and the process to resolve them takes indefinitely long.

There isn't much motive for companies like this to resolve anything because they want to charge those who send email to their customers. That I send out a newsletter for free baffles them. They expect me to charge you for it so they can take a cut. For anyone with Boxbe or Comcast, you may want to use an alternative email address to subscribe to ScreenPlayLab.

Smoking is not permitted at any ScreenPlayLab event.

* How to Meet that Agent, Producer or Director...

Don't bring a script, a headshot, or a flyer to a mixer. It can mark you as desperate. No celebrity is going to arrive with a script or headshot in hand, right? If your headshot fits on your business card, that's fine.

A mixer isn't the place to discuss a deal. It's noisy and there's no privacy. It's best to set up a meeting for later.

As simple as it may seem to take the direct approach, introducing yourself to a VIP cold is the hardest way to set up a meeting. Most people are cautious with people they don't know who want something from them. The person with the power to get you a meeting is the friend of the VIP. Some people get tunnel vision of talking only to those who can help directly. Indirect help, a phone call to the right person on your behalf, is most effective.

* What to Talk about at an Industry Mixer...

No pressure, everyone you meet will be forming an impression of your ability to succeed in the entertainment business. To be fair, you'll be doing the same with them. Embrace that we're living in a meritocracy where success is rewarded and failure is best avoided.

Talk about your successes and how grateful you are to be in Hollywood. As in professional sports, complaining about being in the game is considered very poor sportsmanship. We're all lucky to be here. If you encounter anyone not being "good in the room", let me know so I can help them.

* Meet the Dutch Producers...

Dutch television producers Frank Van Rooen and Rick de Graaf are shooting a reality series for the Dutch National Network about personal experiences working in Hollywood. They may bring their camera tonight, if anyone would like to be interviewed.

Love you guys!
