Under the Bridge

Quinn Shephard + Samir Mehta in today's Writers Panel

Once Again

We’ve got a live Dead Pilots Society on Sunday, June 30, 2pm. Get live or video-on-demand tickets here.

If you’re unfamiliar with the podcast, in Dead Pilots Society scripts that were developed by studios and networks but were never produced are given the table reads they deserve.

Our June 30 show at the Elysian Theater features scripts by Dario Konjicija & Damir Konjicija (Home Economics; Young Sheldon) and Jordan Roter (American Housewife).
The cast is terrific and includes: Beth Dover (Orange Is the New Black), Josh Banday (Upload; Not Dead Yet), Vinny Thomas (Platonic; Ahsoka), Leah Lewis (Matlock; Elemental), Punam Patel (Special; Ghosts) and more to be announced!

Again, get live or video-on-demand tickets here. Hope to see you on the 30th.

And This

Thanks so much for the comments on the possible pilot-writing workshop this summer. I’m still interested to hear from more of you what you’d like to do in, say, an eight week workshop. And should I offer a discount to newsletter subscribers…? Let me know!

Today’s Podcast

A good one today. Under the Bridge creator Quinn Shephard (writer/director, Not Okay) and showrunner Samir Mehta (Narcos; Fear the Walking Dead) discuss couching emotional story in mystery plot, finding the universal in the specific, the Sopranos as children and as comedy, writing from the heart, reading to hire a room, and lots more.
