Check out this interesting blog post from the ScriptJournal Blog on being creatively trapped by market expectations. Joe Riley is the principal owner of EYES ON THE ROAD, Management, a literary management company helping writers and directors to “break on through.” Mr. Riley is the Producer of the upcoming independent feature SUNSET BAKERY, and the Executive Producer of the upcoming feature RELAPSE.
"It’s every neophyte writer’s worst nightmare – to be tagged, labeled, and/or pigeonholed into one genre, or one style. As a writer, you feel you have so much more to say. Just because you sold one horror spec, that doesn’t mean you want to write horror pictures forever; after all there’s that big, period, biopic about Tchaikovsky that everybody in town would love if only your representation would shop it."
