If there’s already been an audience for the book, short film, article, etc., then film and television buyers feel at ease that there will be a built in audience for their large investment into the film.  Take for example Damien Chazelle's WHIPLASH, which started out as a short film which became the Academy Award winning feature film of the same name and launched Damien Chazelle's career (he went on to write and direct LA LA LAND, FIRST MAN, and BABYLON).  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #dddddd;\"\u003eWhile original films and series do get made, it is particularly challenging for new and emerging writers and filmmakers to get their project sold if it is not based on IP.
