So because i was not allowed to enter the contest put on by Oprah, i decided to submit my video as a pitch to the new west coast head of programming development for Discovery Communications. Guess what? I got my very first rejection email. Yeah! I’m just happy i got a response…. here is the video and the email below. Claire is a Production Assistant for Discovery Communications.

Dear Elena,

Thank you very much for sending us your materials.  Simon had a chance to review your submission, and while interesting, it’s just not right for us at this time.

Best of luck to you.

Sincerely,
Claire
