Dead Pilots Society
That could be the title of a procedural, right? I mean, the scope would be kind of limited due to the smallish number of potential victims. The detective would be a hardened FAA agent with an unsolved plane crash in his past… It writes itself. Go write it.
Anyway, we’ve got a live Dead Pilots Society coming up on November 17, 2-4pm, at the Elysian Theater in LA, and available to watch on demand as well! Get tix here.
Dead Pilots Society is the podcast I produce with Andrew Reich (Friends; Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story). In Dead Pilots Society, scripts that were developed by studios and networks but were never produced are given the table reads they deserve.
Our November 17 show features scripts by John Enbom (co-creator, Party Down) and Brendan Scannell (Loot) & Amy Reed (Diary of a Future President).
The cast is incredible as always, including Martin Starr (Party Down; Spider-man), Olivia Liang (Kung Fu), Maria Bamford (Kite Man: Hell Yeah!), Ryan Hansen (Party Down; Veronica Mars), Anna Seregina (The Civil Dead), Ify Nwadiwe (Critical Role), Brendan Scannell (Heathers), Ellie Reed (Diary of a Future President), Patrick McDonald (Smosh), and more to be announced.
Truth to Me
In today’s craft-centered episode of The Writers Panel, The Lincoln Lawyer showrunner Dailyn Rodriguez (Queen of the South; The Night Shift) discusses writing procedurals. Dailyn has worked in that genre frequently, including The Glades, Lie To Me, In Plain Sight, and others.
