Plus, I thought it might be fun for you (but not sure). If you’re interested and it gets a green light, then we would both be in on any compensation. They told me to submit a pilot episode (in script form) to Amazon Studios. Me: Hey Alan, How is everything? Since The Dark Side of the Felt sells consistently on Amazon Kindle, I contacted Amazon about turning it into a series with episodes for Amazon Prime Video. Here’s how the email correspondence with me and Uncle Alan played out. When two potentially creative minds come together on a project, it’s fragile ground. This might sound like a simple process, but it’s nothing of the sort. I asked Uncle Alan if he wanted to write the pilot for Amazon Studios, and if anything happened, we would share the compensation and credit 50/50. If you can put two and two together, then you already know where this is going. Either way, he had achieved a lot more than me in the on-screen space, which was relatively easy considering I had never accomplished anything in that space. Maybe I only thought they were entertaining because he was my uncle and I was a kid. Despite being “B-movies,” they were entertaining. My Uncle Alan had once written for a couple of popular television series, and he sold a couple of scripts that were made into B-movies. If you are interested in submitting a script to Amazon, feel free to check out Amazon Studios. Thanks.Īmazon: Hello, At this time, Amazon Video Direct does not offer a partnership program. Me: Since The Dark Side of the Felt sells on a regular basis on the Kindle platform, would you be able to connect me with someone who produces videos for Amazon Video? A partnership could work here. However, I will not reveal what happened with The Dark Side of the Felt until the end of this book. You will notice that the dates span a relatively long range, which means that some of this correspondence happened before, after, and during other chapters. NOTE: This is the only chapter in the book that isn’t written in chronological order with the rest of the book. Chapter Five | The Dark Side of the Felt Update | The Poker Player
