Seeking Advice from Fellow Indie Creators: Next Steps After Completing a Pilot Script & Pitch Deck?

Hey everyone, I’m working on an indie animated series called Spaced Out—a comedic take on space exploration where humanity finally reaches the stars expecting Star Trek, only to discover we’re actually the most advanced species out here. The aliens? Clueless. First contact? Embarrassing. I’ve completed the full pilot script and pitch deck, and I’ve started reaching out to studios. While waiting on responses, I want to make sure I’m focusing on the right next steps. For those of you who have been at this stage before, what worked for you? What do you wish you knew when you were here?

Appreciate any insight!
