Eric’s Creating Irony
What I learned doing this assignment is, by incorporating irony, I’m adding depth, and in the case of my concept, humor, by presenting situations and outcomes that are contrary to expectations.
Stanley, trying to project an image of power and self-confidence, routinely gets ‘dressed down’ by his overbearing wife.
Jerry’s worsening dementia throws a wrench into the schemes, but it’s that forgetfulness that makes things turn out positive.
The group schemes to grab the reins of power while campaigning on transparency.
Despite Ming and Frankie being recovering gamblers, they spearhead a gambling operation at the retirement community.
While Frankie loves living at the retirement community, he’ll only date women too young to live there.
Jerry is the most broke of the bunch, yet he’s vying for the role of Treasurer on the Board.
They’re all living in a community that prioritizes rest and relaxation in retirement, yet the group of four are undertaking schemes that’ll make them busier than they ever were.

Possible Big Picture Open Loops:

The Morning Show 5 Star Model
What I learned doing this assignment is the essential structure required in order to create a show that’ll pull viewers in and keep them perpetually engaged.
1. Big Picture Hook: A popular morning show is completely upended when the co-star is fired for multiple sexual predatory acts in a #metoo environment.
2. Amazing and Intriguing Character:
Mitch: In an instant, his professional life and stellar reputation are destroyed, his wife leaves him. He’s edging toward desperation
Alex: She’s sacrificed her marriage and relationship with her daughter to get to the top. Now everything’s crashing down with Mitch’s firing. How will she deal with this unraveling?
Bradley: A hotheaded reporter passionately after the truth sees her life upended when she quits her job, and learns her addict brother prematurely returns from rehab. A videotaped reaction to an aggressive protester that goes viral creates an opportunity away from home and in a giant way that she could never imagine.

4) Open Loops
What will Mitch’s Desperation Cause him to do?
Will Alex weather the storm of a new regime that no longer wants her there, and what will she do to cement her place?
Will Alex work to repair the relationships at home?
Will Bradley move to NY and take the job?
What will happen with Hal, Bradley’s addict brother?
Will Corey accomplish his goal of transforming the show?
5) Inviting Obsession
What havoc will Mitch undertake to reclaim his life while the new Head of News seeks to hire Bradley, and how will Alex respond to the new shake-up knowing that she, herself, is now on the chopping block? And how will Bradley’s family cause problems for her, as her life/image are about to enter the spotlight?

I’m Eric Geier. Originally from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, I now live in Boca Raton, FL. I’ve started several scripts, but have yet to finish a single one. My goal (not hope) is to allow myself the space to break out of my comfort zone, trust a process that I’m unfamiliar with, and produce material that could help me to break through the rut that my life is/has been in for some time.
My passion is helping to save homeless, abused and exploited animals. By far, my worst habit, is my obsession with political news – hoping this class takes enough of my time to provide a much needed distraction.

I agree to the terms of this release form.
As a member of this group, I agree to the following:
1. That I will keep the processes, strategies, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class confidential, and that I will NOT share any of this program either privately, with a group, posting online, writing articles, through video or computer programming, or in any other way that would make those processes, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class available to anyone who is not a member of this class.
2. That each writer’s work here is copyrighted and that writer is the sole owner of that work. That includes this program which is copyrighted by Hal Croasmun. I acknowledge that submission of an idea to this group constitutes a claim of and the recognition of ownership of that idea.
I will keep the other writer’s ideas and writing confidential and will not share this information with anyone without the express written permission of the writer/owner. I will not market or even discuss this information with anyone outside this group.
3. I also understand that many stories and ideas are similar and/or have common themes and from time to time, two or more people can independently and simultaneously generate the same concept or movie idea.
4. If I have an idea that is the same as or very similar to another group member’s idea, I’ll immediately contact Hal and present proof that I had this idea prior to the beginning of the class. If Hal deems them to be the same idea or close enough to cause harm to either party, he’ll request both parties to present another concept for the class.
5. If you don’t present proof to Hal that you have the same idea as another person, you agree that all ideas presented to this group are the sole ownership of the person who presented them and you will not write or market another group member’s ideas.
6. Finally, I agree not to bring suit against anyone in this group for any reason, unless they use a substantial portion of my copyrighted work in a manner that is public and/or that prevents me from marketing my script by shopping it to production companies, agents, managers, actors, networks, studios or any other entertainment industry organizations or people.

Sample Show: The Young Pope
Big Hook: When the ‘fixed’ Conclave goes awry, oversteps the next in line (Cardinal Spencer) and instead elects a young, anti-establishment Cardinal from the US, Lenny Belardo (Pious XIII).
Intriguing Characters:
Lenny Belardo: Ascends to Pope by accident, and now unexpectedly finds himself in a position of enormous power.
Sister Mary: Raised Lenny from childhood after his parents abandoned him, and the new Pope’s right hand ‘man’.
Cardinal Voiello: Realizing he’s not liked by the new pope, embarks on a mission to bring Pious down.
Cardinal Spencer: The one who should be pope, full of anger and jealousy.
Empathy/Distress:
The New Pope is alone, having been abandoned as a child, and desperately seeking a circle of trustworthy allies as he navigates his new role.
Open Loops:
Will the new pope succeed with his anti-establishment platform, or will he be brought down by the old established guard?
Will the new pope remain a heart-hardened ‘child’, or begin to embrace Sister Mary and the surrounding establishment.
Inviting Obsession:
A young ‘underage’ Outsider seeks to up end the Established Order in the most powerful organization in the world.
What I learned from the exercise: Why this is binge worthy, what’s motivating the main character, and where the hazards will most likely come from, 10 miles down the road.

Hello fellow groupies,
I’m Eric Geier, originally from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, now (as my people do), have made the pilgrimage to Boca Raton, FL. I’ve written two unpublished scripts, and I’m hoping to, one day, be worthy enough to work with Chuck Lorre as a writer/producer.
I’m an extraordinarily persistent salesperson and with strong relationship building skills – there are few doors, if any, that I can’t (eventually) get my foot into. I’m a vegan, a supporter of many animal protection causes/organizations, an impassioned Grateful Dead fan, a serious small batch coffee brewer/drinker and a Red Burgundy Wine Enthusiast.
