Expand commentWell, I usually agree with John Ellis opinion on this, teasers are usually irrelevant. Plus, often they cost what an episode would cost, so... just produce a pilot episode and then you have something you could at least theoretically monetize. I don't normally producer a POC sizzler, but there are some specific projects which require them and assist in getting investor interest on the one hand, and weeding out the wrong investor on the other hand. In particular I have a project based on a Hollywood celebrity with a very, very wide built in audience. However, due to peculiarities in Hollywood distribution mythology, which I will not get into here, some people are immediately on board and some people simply won't accept market truths if they go against those myths. A sizzler identifies those people for me immediately and I don't waste time trying to pitch someone who is unable to do anything for me.
