First and foremost as a writer, # 1 to follow your passion. If you believe that your idea / concept will be better served by writing a miniseries of writing 90-minute film, I say "go for it" and give all you got.
Many writers just have too much content to narrow your done, right? Too many ideas, too many thoughts, too many words, too many possibilities - welcome to the world as a writer. No matter what its emphasis on collecting an underlying theme to the main character can exist in a world where you get to tell a story, a compelling second story they wanted to hear and participate in watching the story play on the screen - big or small.
If your calling in life as a young writer leads you to believe you've got way too much information into a concept that is condensed down into 90 minutes of the movie and miniseries is the direction you decide to go, keep in mind that the miniseries is not produced in quantity enough to writers "who can do that" is sought after.
Remember, as a young writer, you write a spec script as a sample of your work, not enough to 'yes' special letter products. Writers must write and write they do, many, many scripts, all of which shows his ability to write. It's not all about the idea that you got as a potential film - lots of great ideas do not translate the page - on the screen. Choose carefully your ideas, develop them well-known craft of writing screenplays and with intent to sell (not for evaluation and praise).
As a writer, all writers face it, your work in progress gets tweaked and tweaked until it becomes a great script. Focusing and finding that one item that can boost your main character through the movie or show is the most important in all writing. Since you're new to writing would suggest staying on the road to really hammering out a script you started as a character, and everything is working properly writing that makes you a better writer. If you end up writing a great script you are in a better place for the 4 + to write scripts that would require a miniseries. If you're a fantastic writer with many, many written and (professionally valued feedback) scripts under your belt then you can pretty much bang from many scripts needed for the miniseries. But if I'm not even finished writing a great script, make sure to learn the craft of good writing (not just ideas-wise your formatting and) before you commit to the arduous task of drinking all requests more scripts.
If your end result is to be recognized as a professional writer, then you really learn a trade is essential before spending time, effort, blood, sweat and tears over such a large company as a miniseries. It's your choice though, so follow your inner guidance. Make your thoughts and ideas that are used. Do not let those thoughts and ideas to run the show, dictate - you're a god for the project and you need to make their thoughts will not be a slave to serve them or they will make a nonsense to you, and you can run ragged and waste your time.
Be seen in future as one of those exceptional individuals harboring an explosive potential. Use the writing talent you are blessed with. You walk in this world where the creative spark can set off an explosion of prosperity. Have a professional guide or mentor, so you can take advantage of the genius and to identify. I believe in your hidden talents and this time next year could be a valuable asset to the entertainment industry, a completely different person reaching out and touching success, wealth, and happiness you deserve.
If you want to write a miniseries - go for it.
