Ugh

Well, that was uncomfortable. I went in to meet Mike’s boss and suddenly he gave me the ol’, “Give me the pitch and treat me like I’m Sci-Fi.” Ugh. Let go of my ears, I know what I’m doing.
So I started my pitch and he stopped me every twelve seconds to give me a pointer or tell me what didn’t work for him. It became clear that he didn’t understand the story and he admitted that numerous times. Toward the end my feathers smoothed out and I realized that he really was just trying to help. He wanted me to be able to tell the story so that even someone who didn’t like these types of movies could understand.
I must admit my confidence was shaken as I left. If that was a pep talk meant to give me magical powers…it failed. I left there thinking this guy clearly has no faith in me whatsoever.
I’ve been thinking about it since I left and Thursday I think I’ll just go in and do my thing.
