MESS written by Tricia Fukuhara and Henry Alexander Kelly (dramedy pilot)
Best friends: Alice and Marcos- an aimless, lindy-hop obsessed Japanese-American, and an overambitious Afro-Latino game designer- must navigate their messy lives in L.A. and try to finally come of age in their mid-30s.
CASITA CAFE written by Swati Sharma (dramedy pilot)
A Mexican family’s attempts to stay afloat by discreetly operating their LA based Mom and Pop cafe as a ‘Casita’ (gambling den) are thwarted when a pigeonholed immigrant Indian writer makes it her favorite emotional support coffee shop.
A FAIRY’S TALE written by Jana Naomi Smith (children’s pilot)
When a Fairy Godmother Academy reject with an uneven wing gets the opportunity to interview for her dream job – working exclusively for little black Girls on Earth, she must prove she has what it takes to be a successful Fairy Godmother or risk never realizing her dream.
This special event will feature feedback from Kemiyondo Coutinho (P-Valley, Survival of the Thickest) and Rochée Jeffrey (grown-ish, WOKE).
