Road Picture/Romance

A well-liked doctor, his marriage crumbling, borrows his recently deceased brother’s Ferrari and heads west to notify the brother’s girlfriend, but gets way more than he bargained for along the way.

The journey across America brings into focus the grandeur of the country, set against the isolation felt by the protagonist, whose brother’s death has ignited a long-dormant need for a deeper more profound understanding of his life – including coming to terms with the hatred he feels for his departed brother.

First target: Producers.

Reminded that’s it’s all about the writing, though the pitch is crucial. It’s noisy out there and development executives – at least in streaming – are the last honest-to-God gate keepers. No barrier to entry in film or music (at least in getting stuff made) but getting it seen and played (TV) is what we’re all after. So the pitch is almost everything!

Hey everyone my name is Andy Kadison.

Used to be an EVP at Sony Music in NYC where, among other things, I ran the TV company there. Then moved to Viacom/MTV Networks for a bunch of meh years.

I’ve written a bunch (more than 5 un-produced) scripts, wrote a few scripted un-produced pilots, produced tons of TV shows (variety/music) and have created about two dozen TV series bibles and about 100 one sheets for various scripted and non-scripted shows.

I’m writing my first novel as we speak, but have a script I recently finished and figured it’s probably a good idea to sell it!

Hal and Cheryl seem pretty committed to helping in that regard, so why not!

I like that these guys talk to industry pros and gather recent examples of what’s working and what’s not working. That’s what sold me on taking this class.

Best of luck to everyone!
