Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge, thinkings, and experiences with micro-series.
Based on one of your previous posts I wrote a micro-series (a comedy nonetheless) and did a table read of it tonight. Turned out better than I thought.
I’ll refer back to this post while I’m going back over the feedback.
Thanks, David! Really cool to hear you making stuff! Feel free to share when you feel it's ready (or as I've said in the past, BEFORE you feel it's ready 😅)
This is really amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing. I'm on my own journey of putting together a micro budget project so this was a really interesting/valuable read.
You know what this made me think of, though? And it's topical to your entire Substack. Old school broadcast TV shows used to kind of go through a similar process as the one you describe as well! Oftentimes, a sitcom pilot would be pretty bad or middling at best and as an audience member you could literally follow along every week as they figured out the show and improved it. Parks & Rec is a great example of that. It's something that is being lost in the binge watching era-- developing a relationship with a show itself because you follow its growth and change over time.
I for one am looking forward to doing that with your project!
Congratulations on releasing your series! Appreciate the rigor in your self examination. Such a wonderful thing to share with all of us creatives. Thanks for your work here on Substack, it inspired me to start my own!
I sort of get why people learn best by doing instead of hearing things be done.
The most long-lasting lessons are often the most hard-won. If it's felt viscerally, it sticks in your memory longer. It's just the nature of the gray matter between our ears.

Oh… it’s definitely not ready… but here it is anyway. :) Thanks again. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/163aRqFXdrmyzpP60JtOZ5DllwNb52cW8/view?usp=sharing
loved this thoughtful (and well illustrated) self-analysis and I’m excited to watch/read more !!!
I dig the episode, and can’t wait to see more! Also, your real time breakdown of how you are evolving it is fascinating, and inspiring. Super cool.
