The Movie Deal! 1st Season Contestant LEE TIDBALL gets SCRIPT OPTIONED!
Good news about your 2008 Movie Deal Family Category winner PRINCESS REBORN; I’ve just signed an option for the script with Producer Matt Chapman (of The Matt Chapman Company LLC). We’ll be working on a rewrite (there’s always a rewrite–grin), and then start taking it out later in the summer, etc.
You should know that this was almost a direct result of my win in The Movie Deal 2008. That was a big enough deal for me to make an announcement of it on an industry email network that I belong to. Matt is also on that list and requested the script. I sent it to him and he got back to me within just a couple weeks with a very enthusiastic option proposal. He and my ent. attorney worked out details, and I signed the option with him while I was down in Burbank for the Great American Pitch Fest this past weekend.
Thanks to you and your team there for your contest and providing another viable way for us “unknown” screenwriters to get recognition, and in this case anyway, get into the game. Contact me if you need anymore info or whatever.
Best…
