Thanks for the summary. I'm going to give this some thought this
evening and then plan to get back to you tomorrow.

Hey, I've attached the pitch guidelines.  I'd like to put together a 5
minute video within the next few weeks... I can pull the majority of this
video from whatever YouTube clips you recommend, but perhaps I could also
record you on Skype to verify your interest.  (Unless you think you might be
in LA before the end of July, in which case I can just shoot you live.)

My company tends to focus on lighter fare (
http://authentictv.com/Productions ), but they do the occasional serious
one-off documentary, and they have relationships with a number of networks.
Of those, I imagine Sundance would be most receptive to a Barrett-based
show.  Having thought about this for entire minutes, I see three possible
angles at the moment:

1) Barrett as guide to the hacker underground.  You'd identify one or
several season-long hacker agendas, and attempt to document how they're
achieved.  You'd know whether this is feasible, but if it is, I think it'd
sell immediately.

2) Barrett as interviewer.  You'd interview whoever might interest you -
politicians, professors, whatever.  I personally think this is less viable,
but the company spent a shitload trying to get "Out of Character with Krista
Smith" on the air last year, so at least I know this format interests them.
If there were a particular way to focus the type of interviews you'd want to
do, then that would help, but it would have to be as little of a political
slant as possible.

3) Barrett as Barrett.  We'd focus on your individual objectives as
author/activist/spokesperson, and how you go about making those things
happen.  I also think this would sell, and it plays best to my company's
known production strengths, but the demands on you would obviously be
greater.  You'd have to be extremely open about a lot of personal shit.

Let me know whether any of this interests you...

Hi, Christine-

So, what are you hoping to put together on this, and what's your
intent in terms of subject matter at this point?
