Pipe Dreams

2006-01-21T05:55:00.000-05:00

This sizzle reel was made by a production company that shopped the show idea to various TV networks -– they renamed the show "Pipe Dreams." It was awesome to have their interest, but when it was all said and done I still preferred the trailers I cut myself to sell the show. Which brings me to the quandary that haunts all my creative endeavors:

To have complete artistic control or to not have complete artistic control?

That is the question. Here's my answer: FLUSH TV may not be on TV, but it's all mine here.
