Overview

"Liquid Gold is a pilot that sets the background for a half-hour comedy-drama series exploring the lengths single mothers must go to survive. The work confronts toxic gender expectations and our cultural discomfort with the biological female body, in contrast to our obsession with the sexualized female body. Lisette is a recently divorced mother of a new baby and 8-year-old son. In need of income and struggling to re-enter the work force, she discovers an untapped market of bodybuilders, eager to buy breast milk as a supplement. Maybe Later is a pilot that sets the background for a half-hour network comedy that asks the question 'When is it time to give up on your dreams?' It explores the tension between career and family for women in their late thirties. The body of work reflects themes around motherhood, aging, and the unique pressures women face in the pursuit of success." --Abstract.
