I just met with a producer! A small fry, but at least he’s on the menu. Our meeting was going well, but he rejected my script, stating that it lacked “international appeal” because it was set in America, had American characters and was about American politics. China is a huge market and he wanted my script to play to that audience.
This interaction had me thinking. Moving forward, should I include international and Chinese elements in all my scripts? Should I think about making a script that's enticing to buyers when writing? What are your thoughts on balancing business and creative script decisions?
