Write a script hoping a development exec will like it.
They develop it hoping their boss will like it.
Boss options it hoping a commissioner will like it.
Commissioner broadcasts it hoping a mass audience will like it.
Somehow between all that you've got to squeeze in art.

So how DO you get your project commissioned?
