THE FUCK UP by Dasha Fayvinova
Young Liv failed to fulfill an ancient prophecy of defeating the evil Overlord Dave. Now she's 24, hated by everyone, and desperate to make amends.

Dasha Fayvinova is a comedy writer and producer. A first-generation immigrant from Russia, Dasha’s work champions outsiders and oddballs, usually through the lens of a bad-ass female protagonist. While working in development, she has helped set up television and TV movie projects at Netflix, HBO, and Freeform.

DRYWALL by Rob Eckard
A deeply-closeted family man inherits his father’s construction company, only to discover that the business served as a cover for his father’s true passion: murder.

Rob Eckard is a Los Angeles-based screenwriter and educator, originally from the sweet tea-coated suburbs of Dallas, Texas. He holds degrees in theatre education and screenwriting from NYU and Emerson College, where he now teaches screenwriting as an affiliated faculty member. As a graduate student, he was selected for the Television Academy’s internship program and worked on the 20th Century Fox lot, including time at Modern Family and Fresh Off the Boat. His writing is heavily influenced by his Southern roots, queer identity, and unresolved daddy issues.

BACK IN THE DAY by Bruce Leddy
When two guys recall their "almost famous" lives as interns at an '80s music-video channel, their warped imaginations place them into legendary moments in rock.

Bruce Leddy is a comedy director whose credits include Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Cougar Town, How High 2, and MadTV. He is also a contributing humor writer for The New Yorker online. Bruce graduated from Williams College where theater success left him with the mistaken impression that an acting career was a good idea. He was rescued from a soul-crushing stint of auditions in New York City by a Writer/Producer job at MTV. After a 7-year run, working on everything from documentaries to live music to stand-up comedy and awards shows, he moved to LA to pursue comedy directing and has been stranded there ever since. His indie film The Wedding Weekend (f/k/a Shut Up & Sing), starring David Harbour, Molly Shannon, Mark Feuerstein, and Rosemarie DeWitt won multiple festival awards including the Audience Award/Best Feature at the Aspen Comedy Festival. This is his first beard.

NO MAN’S LAND by Sydney Brey
In 1867, after murdering her abusive husband, Birdie races off in search of the mythical No Man’s Land, a western town controlled entirely by women.

Sydney Brey is a drawing-designing-antiquing-creating-storytelling-figure skating-stereoscopic photo-taking screenwriter whose passions lie in crafting a good story and abusing the thesaurus. A graduate of the animation department at the School of Visual Arts, Sydney has spent the last year working on her senior thesis project, a historical western TV show named No Man’s Land. When not writing, Sydney can be found collecting 19th-century tintypes, archiving her View-Master collection, or teaching kids how to stand up on shoe-knives (colloquially known as the “ice skate”). Creative inspiration can come from anywhere, so she believes in having a varied and ever-expanding skill set (at least that’s the excuse she uses for taking up so many strange hobbies). No matter what she’s doing (like say, writing a brief bio), she is always on the lookout for ways to entertain and captivate an audience. To find out more about Sydney’s work, visit sydneybrey.com.

BEING SEEN by Andi Delott
When a marketing exec ages out of the industry and becomes invisible in society, she reclaims her strength by starting a high-end male escort service.

Andi Delott writes grounded dramas with female leads. Much of her inspiration comes from her career in entertainment advertising. As ABC’s agency of record for almost two decades, she led that account and helped successfully brand, launch and sustain multi year marketing campaigns for classics including Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Dancing with the Stars, and Modern Family to name a few. Now, in addition to ABC, her clients also include Apple, Netflix, Amazon and Disney Academy. Andi recently completed a fellowship with the 2019-2020 NBC Writers On The Verge program. Her writing accomplishments also include a 2018 PAGE Awards Fellowship/Stowe Story Labs; 2017 New York Women in Film and Television Writers Lab; 2019 Finalist in The Blacklist/Women in Film Episodic Lab and 2019 Semifinalist at the Austin Film Festival, among other contest placements. She graduated in 2019 from UCLA’s Professional Program for TV Screenwriting.

FIX by Jeff Bower
A narcissist with the ability to manipulate time tires of changing aspects of his own life and begins to "help" others. Think DEXTER meets QUANTUM LEAP.

Jeff Bower is a former teacher, professional mascot, and assembly line summer intern, he brings his blue-collar background and work ethic into all of his creative work. He earned a Bachelor’s in Mathematics from Binghamton University and an MFA in Theatre from Florida Atlantic University where he received death threats for performing the lead role in Terrence McNally’s Corpus Christi. After moving to LA Jeff completed the Advanced Studies UCB improv program and performed over three years on the mainstage at iO West, while also avoiding being mugged by jumping into the middle of Franklin Avenue his first month in town. He has a play published by Samuel French, won/placed in over a dozen script competitions, and primarily writes dark hour-long dramas even though he still hopes to one day grow up to be a Muppet. He is repped by Paul Weitzman at Culture Creative Entertainment and Alex Creasia at Pathfinder.
