Topic: Screwed.

Tell us about the time you've been the most creatively screwed over.

Gregory is not allowed to talk about the time I messed up his script for a short film by actually making the damned thing.

Creatively screwed over is kind of objective.  Examples?

Well, whatever vision you had being written off and replaced with some compromise to the detriment of the project.

Oh well shit, daily I experience that.  Probably Man vs Monster in terms of what execs at networks wanted it to be even though they claimed they were fans of it.

Re: Screwed.

Well probably my most recent can be seen here.

I spent weeks getting the script ready, and I still vote that it's one of the best I've ever written.

If you happen to be interested, you can read it here. I actually wouldn't mind some feedback on it.

Basically it was just a combination of conflicting ideas within the team (both of which being headed up by brutally stubborn people (me included)) and being in way over our heads leading to a massive time crunch which lead to compromises that no one liked and pretty much completely destroyed what I had wanted it to be.
