‘The Making of a Dream’ Episode 17: Pitching to the Mouse

 My pitch at Disney led to a meeting at Comic-Con… 

In 1999, I optioned the rights to an unreleased comic book called Dream Factory and have been on a quest ever since to get it produced as a movie or TV series. In this blog, I share with you the history, the near hits and the actual production notes as I finally move into production. #Thisismydream.

Having a network meeting at ComicCon is not as cool as it sounds. It’s not a good place for a meeting.

In this episode I share how the show I pitched wasn’t right, but my backup project was…and then it wasn’t. Pitch stories are always more fun when they happen to other people. So enjoy.
