Shane Brennan, Showrunner

Wanted to say we're going to hear Shane Brennan speak tonight at The Wheeler Centre. Shane went to the US after writing 100+ hours of produced TV in Australia. He now runs both NCIS shows. As the promotional material says, a budget of "150 million dollars and employs more than 400 people."

When we started BULLET: A Superhero Comedy, I'd already been inspired after hearing Mr Brennan talk at an AWG event. We experimented with the Showrunner model on BULLET. It worked really well, and our collaborators are excited about it all. Our goal is to take our experience and apply it to TV, blazing the trail Shane Brennan marked out for us.

The lads from BULLET are joining me tonight. We're going to come away incredibly psyched.

TV people, please take heed. This is the future of our biz. We truly believe it. If it isn't us, it'll be someone else. We plan for it to be us, though...

Hey sindee, we enjoyed the event immensely. He's incredibly good at getting us fired up. Some saw too much doom, we saw opportunity. What should I share?
