just learned that David Jenkins’ first show, People of Earth, aired for two seasons and was greenlit for a third, and he scripted the entire third season before the network changed its mind and cancelled it. That is fucking maddening actually.
#bit of a personal rant in the tags here:#I went to school for creative writing and graduated last May#and I got that degree because I want to be a screenwriter#im not doing anything in that field rn because it’s SO hard to get into that industry even at an amateur level#but seeing people who are already in the industry like djenks who are also WAY more talented than me#getting constantly sidelined for the sake of corporate greed#it’s just so goddamn disheartening#it makes it hard to even want to *try* to break into that industry anymore#because like. what’s the point#if anything remotely envelope pushing or interesting or original is cancelled prematurely then what’s the fucking point!#anyway. gonna go check out this show I think#people of earth#david jenkins#save ofmd
