CBC is interested in learning more about me and what I have to say.
Not too long ago I submitted my pitch for a short documentary idea that I have in mind and would one day love to put it into action. And what I mean by putting it into action is, sharing my pitch with one of the largest public television and radio broadcasters in Canada, in hopes of having my production funded by them and aired on their network. Yes, a very similar business practice to something you would see on the Apprentice TV show (when it was on).
Remember my post from a few weeks back inquiring about any parents out there, who have children that speak English as a second language? Well here is where you can start to connect the dots.
I have (what I believe to be) a remarkable and impactful story in mind, that I have no doubt that it would deeply connect with thousands (if not millions) of Canadians across Canada. Not just with horse lovers and owners, but well outside the horse world appealing to any animal lovers in general and people from all generations and walks of life, with a strong presence on multiculturalism.
Though I must say that this is just one conversation that I've had with CBC, and perhaps it's the ice breaker to get my foot in the door as an Independent Producer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. All I know is, having worked in live TV before, it is often a very lengthy process to get your ideas listened to, in an attempt to have it supported, bought, and your production aired on a national network.
No matter how I spin this, it's a pleasing start.
