Question
I am wondering what I should I do. .. I have submitted my show idea to Adult Swim. I was advised at the time that the process takes a few week. (this was back in August).

Would I be wrong to make a follow up call to find out what the status is?

Thanks

Answer
Hello Tamara,

There seems to be the "out of sight, out of mind" syndrome here. These execs are very busy and things get put aside for more urgent matters. I waited for a year before I got an answer and my project was rejected. I thought I should have found out sooner considering the negative response. Don't be bashful. Call again to find out the status.

Hope this helps.

Russell
