The odds of this even coming close to something that resembles success are slim to none. Local talent trying to make a series, give me a break. Another issue involves this being a private screening at Hallwalls. Isn't the mission of hallways to bring culture to the rest of us? If so, why is this a private screening? I have a better idea for a tv series, a city that can't seem to get it together, the economic progress of the rest of the nation keeps passing the city by and and instead of focusing on how to redevelop the economy, the city focuses on a bass outlet store. When the store turns out to be a huge waste, everyone can't fathom why and then gets excited over a few sports teams while the rest of the country makes fun of them. Of course, the local citizens can't figure out why the rest of the nation makes fun of them. That is comedy.

I am not sure what Wilby is writing about. The reference to WITH Hollywood experience? My first question is why was WITH capitalized. In writing one must be very clear. My second question, why the Cleveland reference, is that some type of joke, if so, I think maybe if you wish to be funny you should keep in mind that in comedy it is all about set up and delivery. Your writing above lacked that. Moreover, sarcasm is very hard to deliver in a forum such as this. The other point is this, if one has Hollywood experience, as you referenced above, going the so called Indy route really boils down to this, someone who goes this route really lacks the product to reach a wide market, thus they go the so called indie route. Secondly, Hallwalls has a tendency to really showcase a lot of B grade material. Too bad for you that you missed that what I opined on had to do with not only constructive criticism but also satired the absurdity that occurs in Buffalo. Clearly it went over your head. But, maybe someone WITH Hollywood experience might find it funny. Perhaps, Clevland rising might turn out to be a better forum for your views as according to your post they are always looking for visionaries. I have forwarded your views to the good people at the Bass outlet store, they like Cleveland are looking for a few good visionaries.
