[Lloyd Shellenberger]

BWTV Module 10 lesson 8 Become a star at a pitch fest.

Lloyd’s Pitch Fest.

Vision Working hard everyday to become the best writer I can be and as a result I do become the best writer in Hollywood.

What I learned from this assignment is exactly what I will say and do a pitch fest and writers conference to get representation.

“Hi, I’m Lloyd Shellenberger and I’m a broadcast Journalist, published author, and producer with a feature film and several documentaries under my belt. I covered the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as a journalist and a Special Operations soldier.

Benjamin Greene

Genre Action\Drama

What if you and your unit was forcefully recruited into a Pentagon Agency where the only rules are kill or be killed and there is no retirement, only “amendment”?

I have budgeted the Pilot at 4.38 million which can be brought down to 2.82 or less depending on the rewrites and locations.

The actor I see best fitting this lead role is John Hamm. This is a role and A-lister can sink his teeth into. The character arc is huge, and Greene is the very definition of a killer with a heart.

The pilot begins in Afghanistan as Colonel Greene and his crew shut down a government run drug house.

The second act begins four years later as Colonel Greene, a former CIA assassin. and his unit are brutally recruited by a Top-Secret Pentagon called the Puzzle works whose only mission is to make sure our nation’s secrets stay secret.

In the third and fourth acts Greene and his crew investigate a drug smuggling ring in Fort Bragg. The rules are simple, no witnesses, no press, and no loose ends.

The ringleader is an old and trusted military colleague. Unfortunately, Greene and his unit must comply or be “amended” Themselves.

The fifth act end as Colonel Greene successfully complete their mission only to face internal and external betrayals. The world of Benjamin Greene is rife with murder, black bag money, FBI agents, politicians, and betrayal around every corner.

Will Greene and his crew expose the Puzzle Work and find an exit strategy, or will they be Amended? There are over 35 open loops and more than a dozen mysteries in this five-year series.
