A showrunner recalls the time a producer accidentally sent him back his own script for thoughts on how it could be improved: 'If I ever begin to feel too cozy or think my executive looooooves me — I just remember that at the end of the day, to them, I am another writer on a list.'
But his face, on this overcast day on the picket line, was grim. The cause of his deflation was not the fact that the show, after one season, had been cancelled, which is increasingly common as networks and streamers truck more and more in noise and flash and have less stomach for the slow, patient building of an audience.
An early first lesson that I was a mere number came fifteen years ago when I shockingly found myself writing a movie for one of the major studios. It was an incredible opportunity. Yes, my executive was famously, hilariously insane, and yes, the literate short story I was adapting was nowhere near an appropriate blueprint for a big, dumb studio comedy, but it was a big deal to me. So I did my drafts.
