Well it's time for me to get out there and start pitching my animated movie ideas. (Actually I worked them up with the help of Frank Nissen and Margot Pipkin. Many thanks to them for helping and for agreeing not to be attached.)
I hope somebody likes them. I've already got meetings set up at Dreamworks with Alex Schwartz (an old colleague) and at Fox with Karen Rupert-Tolliver (another old colleague). My manager (it still sounds weird to say "my manager") Peter McHugh is contacting most other places.
However I won't be pitching at Disney. I've been informed that John Lassiter handpicks people he thinks have what it takes to be directors and solicits their ideas. So Frank Nissen, who directed two movies for Disneytoon Studios, can't even really walk in and pitch ideas for him to direct. That's crazy.
Wish me luck pitching!
