Overview
"For my MFA Thesis project, I have submitted two pilots. Talk of the Town is a 60-minute dramedy set in the fictional town Hillborn in 1840's Hampshire, England. Adeline Thompson is a thief and con artist posing as the long-lost relative of a great lord. However, the arrival of an old friend risks her exposure. However, Oliver Wright, an unsophisticated young man on the verges of society who aspires to be a serious journalist, may just shift her fortune. Together they will pen an anonymous society column from the gossip Adeline collects about Hillborn's mysterious elite. First Gens is a half-hour dramedy set in New York, 1990. Wendy Afolayan, a young British-Nigerian woman, arrives in America to study fashion. She dreamed of living in New York, however, as Wendy navigates Manhattan with her cousin, Sade, and new friends, she will see that America isn't as glamorous as the movies." -- Abstract
