Melocchi spotted one of Paul's scripts on Virtual Pitchfest. Paul then made a point of meeting her at the next Great American Pitch Fest and made a connection. She liked his script, but told him it needed work.
At the time, Paul was finishing up ProSeries 34 and brought "all the enhanced insights from PS34 to the rewrite task. " It made the difference.
Melocchi loved the new draft, and responded in 2 days with an offer to represent him.
