Meeting with Dyson Lovell

I am currently on my way to meet the producer Dyson Lovell , more recently famous for producing Comanche Moon but with TV productions like Alice in Wonderland, Don Quixote, Arabian Nights, A Christmas Carol etc. Together with the writer we're hoping to get a useful reaction to our script and more broadly to the idea behind Diamond Diver.

Some months ago we met Stuart Fenegan of Liberty Films, at that time we didn't have a polished script to show so we just talked through the idea. I don't think we'd be misrepresenting Stuart if we said he thought our film had a lot of potential and was interested to continue talks with us. Stuart is no doubt enjoying the success of Moon, which I'm guessing is the reason why we haven't heard back from him yet!

At that meeting we learnt some good lessons in terms of how to prepare and what to expect. The main lesson we took from that meeting which we carry into this one is being crystal clear on our key objectives. Last time we didn't know what we wanted and therefore didn't know what to aim for.
This time we're clear: We want a reaction to our script (good or bad), we'd like some tips on what we need to do to maximise the chances of people taking a serious interest in what we've got. Bottom line this is a learning opportunity.

So what's in it for Dyson? I don't know yet so I be checking that one out at the start.

Will let you know how it went in a few hours!
