From an e-mail received from one of the production companies we sent the Soul Searcher pitch to:

“You have a good script here, but I don’t believe it would work as a small or medium budget film… We could not commit to finance a movie over a $30m budget, therefore we cannot go any further with this.”

Oh how I laughed. And then cried. And then put a shotgun in my mouth. Not really of course – the power of suggestion.
