Update: Spec script market

From Tracking Board:

VALARIE UNPLUGGED
Representation: Kimberly Bialek & Alan Gasmer (WMA)
Written by: Susan Avallone
When a Type A high school valedictorian messes up her college interview because she texts her boyfriend in the middle of it, she must go unplugged (no text, e-mail, etc…) for a week in order to get a second chance. Cari-Esta Albert attached to produce.

If this seems like a thin premise, just visit the nearest mall and watch as the tweens and teens walk by, working their cellphones, even while they’re walking with like, you know, actual live people.

Disconnected for a week? Dis-aster!!!

No background on the writer Susan Avallone unless this is her.

BTW, Alan Gasmer has probably sold more spec scripts throughout his long career at WMA than anybody.

What do you think? Does it sell? Not sell?
