Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Writers Get Wrong About Story - Troy DeVolld
Q: How do you test your idea before pitching?
Talk to trusted industry colleagues, but avoid over-sharing; protect the core vision, and rely on a strong deck and a concise logline that clearly communicates the premise and potential beats.
What Writers Get Wrong About Story - Troy DeVolld
Q: What elements make a great idea?
A great idea is saleable, fits into a usable box, resonates with fans of similar formats, and has the potential to expand into a larger universe or show; originality helps but fit within a buyer's schedule and existing formats matters just as much.

Q: How do you know if an idea can make a full documentary?
