When I started to work in Hollywood in 2012, I was an assistant. I remember long days I spent setting up and tearing down conference rooms from meetings.
Those meetings were for developing ideas. We had writers coming in and pitching features, we had agents pushing us books, and we occasionally had meetings with magazines who outlined all the articles coming up that may make good film and TV.
If we sparked to anything, you’d bring a writer or director in for a take, then try to set it up at a studio.
