Literary Manager Kendrick Tan of Lit Entertainment Group
The Tracking Board, in partnership with The Script Lab, is excited to present a new episode of ANATOMY OF A SALE.
We keep the frights and scares coming for October as we explore the sale of the Horror/Supernatural Spec ‘DON’T LOOK BEHIND YOU‘ with Literary Manager Kendrick Tan of Lit Entertainment Group. Written by scribes Joshua W. Wagner and Robert Lind, this spec would go on to launch both of their careers, secure them a place on the Hit List, and spark a massive bidding war between multiple buyers. The script is currently set up with eOne and Matt Jackson producing. Kendrick shows us his process to find new ideas with writers, figuring out the story within the story, and working through the territories between agent, manager, and attorneys.
