TV Pilots


The Means

The Means is a dramatic thriller television pilot that chronicles both sides of the law in New York City, where the rent is high and so is the cost of living. But for one rag-tag band of thieves, crime pays. Dealing with themes of nature versus nurture, learning to shed societal expectations, and the perils of navigating a fractured justice system, this show will balance the gritty authenticity of The Wire, with the no-holds-barred thrill seeking approach of TNT’s Animal Kingdom. The crime is slick and adrenaline-inducing, the consequences harsh and austere.

Private Intelligence

Former government spies take on the private sector to make a buck. Sports teams, Fortune 500s, Big Pharma...industry secrets come with hefty price tags.  'Slow Horses' meets 'Michael Clayton.' The scary thing about this story is that the concept is all too real: Big Business co-opts Government-trained intelligence agents and employs them against the general public. Yes, it’s really happening. Yes, our tax dollars were spent training these people. Yes, the CIA has a long history of farming out illegal domestic activity to the private sector. Read about all this and more in Private Intelligence.

Chasing Monsters

Chasing Monsters is a fantasy crime show about a secret government agency that recruits monster-human hybrids to hunt and police their own kind. The story deals with themes of acceptance, redemption and the perils of living in a surveillance state. At a time where almost nothing can be taken at face-value, audiences are ready for a show that uses fantastical elements to ask tough questions about society.

X P L T R

​​A social media sleuth runs a series of accounts that expose people for lying and cheating. The mysterious death of a former flame sets him on a path that blurs the line between digital truth and real-world danger, pulling him into a conspiracy far stranger than he ever expected.

​This is Chinatown for the social media age. This is like if Mr. Robot and Brick had a younger, weed-smoking, vape-hitting sibling raised on Reddit threads and conspiracy TikTok.
