A little more progress today on the pilot.  Not quite as prolific today, but the day isn't done yet - and I am ahead of schedule. Sent off the Dark Matter pitch to a possible home - as well as the pitch for a Hitcockian limited series. Finished Squid Game last night.  Guessed the first…

I find I get more done when I have other things to do.  Chiefly, this pilot I'm writing.  I completed the teaser and first act today - two days ahead of schedule - but also find time to have some early discussions on the Dark Matter miniseries, completed a pass on the SF/K-pop series and…

Out and about. Embarrassed by dad at the dog park. Misplaced her horse. Catching an alternate ride. Settling in for her afternoon noon. On the move and looking for treats... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKgMx37RXqk

When I sit down to write a pilot, I always set some very makable goals for myself.  For instance, I'll set aside an entire weekend to complete the teaser, then give myself until Friday to complete the first two acts.  I'll dedicate the next weekend to the third act, then the following weekdays to acts…

As many of you have no doubt heard, actor Willie Garson passed away at the all too young age of 57.  Most media cite his work on shows like Sex and the City and White Collar, but of course Stargate fans fondly remember him for his portrayal of the Martin Lloyd, the lovable fugitive alien-turned-television…

THE MINISERIES It’s been three long years since the alien incursion that has wrought havoc over the galaxy.  Billions of lives have been lost, countless worlds destroyed.  Finally, however, salvation presents itself in the form of an unfathomable piece of technology, couriered from an alien reality by a long-lost former member of the Raza crew.…

FIVE: Once immature and overwhelmed, the crew member formerly nicknamed The Kid has come a long way, assuming command of the ship and fulfilling her destiny as a leader.  But she will face her first real challenge in a quest that will test her resolve, and her willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. SIX:…

TWO: She was at one time the Raza’s fearsome commander, but her priorities have since changed.  Now a mother to a five year old girl, she has made her daughter a priority, abandoning her space-faring lifestyle in favor of a quiet existence on a remote world.  But with the looming encroachment of the alien invaders,…

THE WORLD Our world is our galaxy, 300 years into the future.  Corporations have expanded their reach far beyond Earth, colonizing other planets to exploit their resources.  The only check on their cosmic dominance is the Galactic Authority, a policing force that ensures law and order prevail from Terra Prime to the Outer Colonies.  But…
