Hollywood Asylum
Logline: When Dylan Jay, a promising comedian, makes an offensive joke on stage, his career and life immediately crumble. Falling into a deep depression, Dylan is committed to a psychiatric hospital in Hollywood.
Themes: Hollywood Asylum is about finding humor in the darkest of places. It’s about the light at the end of the tunnel. It also spells out that the environment you’re in, shapes you. Hollywood shaped our characters, but it did so for the worse. The question looms: in the confines of the institution of Hollywood, what will the result be? How will the patient come out? As the story unfolds, everything depends upon the individual and the company they keep. The show puts laughter and the nuances of character before all else, while still delivering heartfelt moments. Though the themes can seem dramatic and dark at times, nothing overrides the comedy. Instead, dramatic turns will be used as a tool for the audience to connect with each individual.
Logline: Raising three daughters alone has never been easy for retired police chief, William Patterson. But when all three seek his advice it only gets worse. Lisa's an attorney, Jamie's a cop, and Susan's abounty hunter. Naturally conflicts abound between these women in the workforce, and on the home front. And friction is only intensified by the fact that Lisa is divorced, Jamie is married, and Susan is single.
Themes: Three is a Crowd will be a character-driven 60 minute drama. It will contain some comedy elements that are bound to come up in such a family dynamic. The show’s main focus will be FAMILY. We have three strong women who are trying to live their own life, but at the end of the day, they know that father knows best. William Patterson lost his wife, but he “sees” her every day in his three daughters, as different as they may be. His wisdom and experience will bring his girls comfort and allow them to see any problem they may encounter with a more expansive perspective. The backdrop of the show will be the women's work day which is always full of excitement and adventure. Since their jobs range from being a lawyer, to a cop, to a bounty hunter, there are always thrilling exploits to be had, always keeping our audience entertained and anticipating the cliff hangers that occur.Three sisters so close in age do not always get along---especially when two of them are dating the same guy - but at the end of the day, the show focuses on the relationship between these three daughters, and their father, and what it means to be a family during the toughest of times.
Lady Puccini (The Godmother)
Logline: Sofia Puccini, the illegitimate daughter of a dying mobster and his maid, returns to take over her father’s business and to continue his legacy. She proves to be more ruthless than her father and brings a new meaning to the word “mobster.” Themes: Lady Puccini is a mobster show for the modern age. Forget all you’ve seen when it comes to mafia-themed television. Sofia is a mixed-race woman, strong and independent, who knows the ins and outs of the law and the ins and outs of a 9mm. It’s time for a woman to be in charge of family affairs and that is no easy task. Puccini is a show about empowerment. It’s a show about a woman who was born in unsavory circumstances and grows up to be the one to change things from the inside out. This show is about taking what is yours, not because of inheritance, but because you deserve it more than anyone else. You’ll see drama, murder, manipulation, love, lust, scandal and revenge. Every great dramatic element is combined into one 60 minute show, and at the head of the wheel is Sofia Puccini. The show will have the business aspect of the Sopranos, the female character angle of Scandal and blackmailing business of Ray Donovan. This is a modern show with modern crimes and Sofia is an up-to-date boss. She has former CIA agents helping her along the way, hackers working alongside her and goons that will do anything she says. The show will tackle gender and race issues when it comes to a non-white woman running a business that has always been runby white man. There will be police corruption and not to mention the affair between Sofia and FBI agent Tim Stonestreet. Puccini will serve as a Robin Hood of sorts. Doing bad work but giving back to the less fortunate in her community. She will be the most loved anti-heroine on Television.
