The next few weeks leading up to the Holiday break are going to see a flurry of activity as development execs work to get new projects on the table for '09.   On the Reality TV front, Producers are seeking unique professions or businesses to build a docu-style series around. If you've got a great cast of characters in a work environment that hasn't been explored in current programming, visit this link and consider pitching it.   In addition to a handful of new production companies joining our service to scout projects, we'll be expanding the technology side of both the TV and Screen Writers Vault to offer Video Pitches from writers and creators for Industry Executive viewing. (Details Below).   I'm happy to share any advice or guidance that may fit your project's needs. Feel free to contact me direct at scott@tvwritersvault.com   For details on development and writing services offered, visit www.scottmanville.com   Have a great end of '08, and write inspired!   Happy Holidays!   Scott Manville President & Founder The Television Writers Vault   ................................................................................   -------------------------------------------------------------------  PRODUCERS WANT "FACE TIME" Producers love finding great material, but with all the reading involved we thought we'd make it easier for them to identify the projects they love. By January 1st, both the TV Writers Vault and Screen Writers Vault will launch a new Video Pitch application that allows our members to pitch their projects in a personal 3 minute digital video uploaded to the site and viewable by our Production company members.   This provides you, the creator, an unprecedented virtual "face time" with Hollywood execs, and the ability to really sell your concept. Producers will be more receptive in getting the pure essence of a project straight from the mind of the Writer, and we believe the Video Pitch will bridge the gap between the paper and the personal connection you need to sell a show.   The new video pitch application is currently being tested in beta format, so stay tuned as we provide more detailed requirements and advice on creating your video pitch for uploading to the site.   If you're preparing a video pitch to submit for your project, feel free to contact us  with any questions.         "Protect Before You Promote!"  Get third-party proof of creation for your projects at The Creators Vault.
