Back in 2015 we posted a short article on a new web series called Bad Timing and called it “fucking funny.” The reason that was all we said was that the series episodes spoke so well for themselves.
Now, Bad Timing Season 2 is up and running. And know what? It’s fucking funnier!
EDITOR’S NOTE: Ah, the second chapter in Laura’s series on the making of her very, very, very popular – over 3 million views – interweb series hit.
The first thing I do is accept that I won’t make back a single penny of what I’m going to spend and be OK with that. Then I find some cash.
One way to find financing is by telling as many people as you can about the project. Network like crazy. You will find people who want to help you. Unless you’re an asshole and nobody likes you. The road of life is lined with bridges.
EDITOR’S NOTE: What is Cargo 3120? Getting down to the nitty gritty, it’s a science fiction (ooh, outer space) adventure that began life as a series of original, scripted episodes in our Beloved Leader LB’s Master Class, then transformed into a web comic strip, and now is a prose serial novel that writer/co-creator (with Daymond Roman) Aaron Walker Sr. and Crew are doing their best to get it the way to your favorite TV-watching media ASAP.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Toldja TVWriter™ would have more from Laura Conway. Welcome to the first in Laura’s series on the making of her very, very, very popular interweb series hit.
I’m not a professional writer. I never went to film school. And I write and produce my own web series, The Vamps Next Door. Guess you could say I’m a perpetual amateur running amok with a camera. It’s my strange kind of hobby and, for a raving writer like myself, it’s a hell of a lot of fun. If you’re a new writer and it’s your first time producing your own script, all these words are for you.
I’ve been writing stories ever since I could write and I write comedy because I love making people laugh. But seven pilots and six screenplays later, sure all that writing was fun, but something was always missing. There was no audience laughing. If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?
Our favorite web series site, Stareable, scores again with this very informative column by Alex LeMay. Presented as a homage to the ever-present showbiz reality known as “No mater what your job title, you’re a salesperson!” >sigh<
A lot of you ask me how you get in the room with buyers, so I’ve created a sort of checklist for you to follow. These are things I do every day and it has become a matter-of-course whenever I want to to get my work in front of a busy studio exec or acquisition & development person (the person in a studio who looks for and buys content)
