The स्ट्राइक...

Here's an email I got from Collingwood (the producer who bought my script, Cole):

"Things are trucking along but it's a little scary out there with the writers strike. I just came back from L.A. and we have some good leads with 'Cole'. I'm hoping someone will nab cause with the strike it's going to be hard to renew it for another year. The film/tv industry in Vancouver and L.A. has come to a slamming halt which means Kimani and I are now shuffling cause of course that's where we make our money."

Cole is up for renewal at the end of December. I guess the writers' strike even affects us in Seattle, eh? Hopefully, things will work out for the best.

Sorry I don't know Portuguese, but, there might be two ways of looking at your producer's email:

A) They're looking for a reason not to renew the option (you said bought, but since they talk of extending, I assume they optioned the script.) OR --

B) They're angling for a free extension of the option.

If B, you're free to grant it -- you could even freeze the clock till the strike's over and restart it after.
