PS I'm developing my first spec pilot with a film producer who, like me, wants to move into TV.

It used to be the case that a spec feature would put you on a list for all kinds of assignments. But with the studios sticking to SFX-driven IP, the odds of landing a feature assignment seem much tougher. But if you write a good spec pilot, even if it doesn't sell, your agent has a sample that could catch the attention of a showrunner...

One word of caution - a pilot may only be half the length/writing of a feature spec, but the work required to prep those characters, and create a returnable "story engine" is massive - as I have found out. Spec pilot does NOT = less work than 120 page feature spec...
