My whole life I’ve been writing. When I was too little to go to school, I even pretended to write.
Professionally, I’ve written as part of creating documentaries like Liquidity: The Value of Wetlands, and Stop Bullying in Ulster County. I’ve also learned and used best practices for writing for websites and SEO.
Yet I have file drawers full of poems, songs, screenplays, and ideas for TV shows. The past few years I felt compelled to finish some of them. I had to put my money where my mouth was, so I did. Literally.
Using my savings, I took a couple of years off to write. I also did a ton of research reading books, watching videos, and diving into a wide variety of topics. Honestly, learning may be my true passion.
Anyway, when the money ran out, I had to stop writing. To pay bills and eat, stuff like that. But I did wind up with some original content.
8 Reality Show pitches
At a crisp 2 pages each, these reality shows cover life and death, love and hate, suffering and redemption, hard work and stiff competition, and much, much more.
Reality show pitches that deal with alternate reality, changing in prison, travelogues, All-American hard work, sports celebrities, historic crimes, current domestic violence, and real-life apprentices – all written and ready to go. Some are passion projects, some are just fun, but all would be binge-worthy.
2 feature-length comedy/dramas
(screenplay outlines)
The term “strong female lead” is turned on its head with these stories about grief and hitting rock bottom. That’s the drama part. The comedy comes when these women get back up in ways that are completely unexpected. It’s not easy to open your eyes and change. But it’s possible.
(I have more screenplays in various forms of completion, from Post-It Notes shoved in a folder, to hand-written first drafts. They aren’t ready to be shared, plus my funds ran out. Stay tuned.)
2 half-hour, low-budget, completed scripts
What can I say? Back in the day, I actually woke myself up every few hours to change the tape in the VCR to record the entire Twilight Zone Marathon on television. Rod Serling was a wry, funny, and philosophical writer. These were written in that same vein.
Now to get all of this original content out into the world. Partnerships, feedback and advice welcomed. Contact me and I’d be happy to share them.
