Signed Network Contracts Make Yuri Happy
NOTE: Jamison Tilsner and the guys over at Tilzy.tv were kind enough to do a write-up on this already: http://www.tilzy.tv/break-a-leg-gets-network-deal.htm — thanks guys!
You know what the best feeling is?
I know what you’re going to say, you’re going to say it’s being oiled up by Sinead O’Connor (remember her? She’s bald!) while the large woman that makes people cry with her surprisingly good singing (how can ugly people be so talented?! I thought talent resided in stupid pretty people like everyone on The Hills!) on Britain’s Got Talent croons “What a Wonderful World” to you as she sways slowly in the wind like a mangled Oak Tree.
…but no. That’s not the best feeling. It’s close, but it’s not the best.
The best feeling is when, after a long time of working on a project, you sign a contract that was sent to you by one of the big networks.
It’s a slightly odd contract.
And I’m not quite famous (yet).
But it’s a contract and, when we release the news to the world, will hopefully get a lot of attention for the show and our production company.
So, today… today was a good day.
Except now I have to make sure that they not only send me the signed version back but that they also don’t get our footage and respond with, “What the hell is this? We thought you were The Guild!”
I’ll keep you updated.
That is awesome!!! congrats man!!!
After that first blog, this is especially excellent news! Congratulations!!!
But a quick question: does the oak tree need to be mangled?
Dude that’s great! You remain an inspiration to me when things don’t look so great.
Like when feature film backers back out a week before pre-prod starts — or when interested producers suddenly don’t return calls — or when talent says they’re sending signed LOIs, every time you call them for the past 3 weeks!
Your success reminds me that it can still happen.
i will keep my fingers crossed for you until BaL airs on tv. seriously. starting right…noiwe. 9(it;as rreallyl harfd to type likje thids., get yon tv sooin!!!)
That’s great Yuri. Congrats. Now get us all the details already
I am so unbelievably happy for you. This made my day!
Wow! Huge congrats!
After approximately ten hours spent trying to figure out how I could have my picture show up when I post a comment, I’ve given up. So let me say, as the shoulderless, white, anthropomorphic blob that I am, I am so proud…of…….you *breaks down sobbing*
You know it was all because of my cameo.
I know what it is, and let me tell you, prepare to be initially impressed!
this is awesome! i cant wait to find out who is it!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!! I knew that letting my boobs appear heavily in the original “Lurker” promo would do you guys some good. Not to imply that my boobs are heavy. And all the good footage is on the cutting room floor, anyway. Not that you guys have a cutting room floor. I remember, back when my mom was in film school, cutting and splicing reels of film. Now that was REAL hard work. None of this rigamarole you and JusJus and Dashers do sitting around in your underwear, clicking mice and dragging things while you text and IM. And blog, apparently. But I guess all of your lounging paid off. Woooooo! I shall show more excitement when you share the actual news. *hugs*
Good. About time.
Seems very good info. Great job !
