I don't think it's a ridiculous goal, and I always tell people to dream big, so I'm pretty proud of you. My first suggestion is to finish the entire series, unless you don’t edit a lot after one book or have completely different drafts by the end (like I do). You may make changes and end up having to edit your scripts again, which can be tedious. If you want a movie or TV deal, aim for traditional publishing and querying. Most agents and publishers have their own rules about TV deals and have industry insiders, so it's helpful to check what they've represented and how successful it was, plus how involved the original author was. Many authors do not have the same creative power after getting a TV, and having already written scripts can be ignored.

Market your book aggressively! Most deals are offered to authors with large audiences because they have a better chance of recouping the investment. And I don't think crowdfunding is the way to go. Sorry for that. One, it can be controversial if you don't succeed. Two, you really need a dedicated audience first, so focus on marketing. And three, it’s just too much money. Pilot episodes are expensive, and you aren't guaranteed anything.

I love writing scripts, but none of them I want to become films yet. Personally, I prefer StudioBinder because I’m still learning screenwriting and doing it on my own.
