		<description>I'm a film producer turned marketing consultant and I think your analogy is a good one.  Go one level down and you'll see that in something as simple as a pitch or a resume you have all the elements of a screenplay.  The trick is knowing how to tell a story that captures people's attention.  And the good thing about Hollywood is that they have a formula for doing this.</description>

		<description>Okay, I "get" the analogy.  But don't people in Hollywood do a lot of sleeping around to get their projects sold or get others to sleep with the check writers?

Am I missing something here?  Am I missing getting in on all the action?  hahaha   

I'm President/CEO of my own company and have just figured out why I'm missing out on funding opportunities.  

Show me the cute VC's so I can stop this funding merry-go-round and get the money I need sooner rather than later... and can finally enjoy the process I hate with excruiating passion... the trailer I need right now is the one SHOW ME THE MONEY!</description>
