    Stuff we use:
    LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
    AUDIO
    Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
    Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
    LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
    COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
    EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

    Good advice in knowing that you are not dead in the water and there seems like factors can be in. your favour if you play your cards right. HAving a backup concept to pitch ( i would assume that Ideally including a script) s a great bit of info, it is clear they like you/your style if they wanted to meet, have something that may cater to a different demographic or subgenre.

    It reminds something Quentin Tarantino said about filming Resovoir Dogs. Something along the lines of "The cast knew more about film than I did, but I knew my material better than anyone".

      Kelley's comment: "If you're in the room with executives, you've already won." is right on. Yes --- while that does not imply you will be green lit, you are already past initial gatekeeping and something about you is worth their time. Indeed, if you get asked at any point "What else do you have?" it's a compliment, as they can tell you're a good writer and wish to learn more about what is the full scope of what you can do --- for how they can work with you (later, if not now).
