Hey, It's Linus.

I'd just like to ask if it would be alright to pitch a segment that has already been produced.

The segment in question is this Deranged Skeleton Dad segment from a film I made as a thesis project in High School:

If however, you only want freshly produced stuff, I totally understand.

Hi Linus!! Thanks for askin.

It's definitely alright to pitch a pre-made segment (some delicious foods are much better the second day!!). The only possible problem with doing this (as is the case with this one) is, while we like some things about it, we also feel it has some pretty big problems.

The External World reference is a bit obvious (using the same dialogue and the same joke only less effectively). The memegage is awkward, and the gore doesn't really land for me.

That aside, it looks quite good and definitely shows promise.
I hope to see more stuff from you! Pre Existing or Otherwise!

Alright, thank you.

Indeed, That whole film was a really big carbon copy of the external world, and I totally understand that the more gruesome aspects are not your cup of tea.

Again thank you so much, now I have a better idea of what might work better to pitch in the future.
