Cassandra Slough Kudos to you for being so brave and to get all of that not only onto paper but in a compelling narrative that can even educate instead of just entertain. I'm sure your piece is in good hands.

Hey guys, I submitted my pilot, Club Paradise, based on my time working in a strip club. Set in the 90s it follows an ex-exotic dancer and grieving mother as she struggles to run the city's hottest strip club, with the expectation of owning it. But when the owner's inexperienced nephew takes possession, she must fight to maintain her reign and protect her staff while battling external forces and inner demons.

My hopes are for it to be a cinematic, rock n roll love letter to women, mothers, friendship and the 90s.

I submitted my feature STETSON tagline: it 's not just my hat it's the code I live by.

Its a neo-Western drama with tears.

I submitted my pilot for In the Shadows of November.

I submitted!!!!

My story is about a grungy preteen named Aiyana!!! She hasn’t started her period like all the other girls in her class and realizes she's pregnant!!! She decides she doesn't want it and tries to find a way to terminate the pregnancy in secret with the help of her old childhood buddies! They haven't hung out together in years but Aiyanna, Ovia, Hope, and Jinx start off from where they last ended to help their friend in need! Jinx works up this idea of sneaking into an abortion clinic. All they have to do is blend in and not Jinx it! This event welcomes the audience to American teenage daughter hell and it will be a menstruating, pimple bumpy, hormonal raging, fun time. It's a provocative Babysitters Club without all the babysitting. :D

Those Thanksgiving sweats aren't going to expand themselves!

Bryce Thomas I still have to check those out. I'm a big Yellowstone fan, and I understand Taylor Sheridan is behind both of those and I've been meaning to check out more of his work. Glad you liked the question - this is how you find out what's underrated!

Of course, I also like Wind River and Hell or Highwater. Both Taylor Sheridan projects

2009 V, it was cancelled and many storylines were not concluded! Would love to at least see one last season! Nice to meet you Brian!

Brian,, If you or anyone in this discussion would like to watch "Resurrection" (1980) it is now available on YouTube.

Alright Mr. Carlin.... I'll bite.

THE EXORCIST Tv series (I, too, shall take those tomatoes to the face with pride). I felt like Geena Davis playing as an adult version of Regan, trying to raise her own family only to be troubled by the same demon from her past really made for some high stakes as it pertained to the safety of her children.

The villain was one you can't outrun and even as an adult, Regan battled back much of her own childhood trauma to be even slightly prepared to deal with the eventuality of another run-in with Pazuzu. Cancelled after a single season, when the audience finally gets the definitive proof that the main character is indeed Regan MacNeil determined to protect her children from a pending demonic possession at the hands of the demon that took her.

I think the new series EVIL has captured some elements of what THE EXORCIST Tv series was trying to, but EVIL has done so in a much sleeker, intellectualized manner - blending the trippy "hyptnotic arthouse" aesthetic of CBS' Hannibal with some of the scare tactics of THE EXORCIST Tv series. .
