LOGLINE: When Peter Griffin makes a phony feminist overture that goes viral, a reporter begins digging into his past, forcing him to answer for a lifetime of bad behavior.

LOGLINE: Set amid the crumbling magazine industry, a recently fired black editor gets one last shot to run a giant legacy brand, but to do so, he’ll have to team up with a publishing industry lion—an old eccentric white bigot.

I formatted this document—which is a hybrid story bible and pitch deck—as a digital magazine, with photos, captions, and links to some supporting material, like the show’s soundtrack on Spotify. This one is best read on a tablet, but if you get into it and would rather have a simple text version, you’ll find the link for that, as well. 

The folks over at The Stunt List—a site staffed by some incredible screenwriters highlighting their favorite work—included my pilot for Caddy Ring in their year-end showcase: The Originals Bureau.

This gave me the impetus to write about how that script, inspired by my own experience, came to be. Check that article out HERE.

And take a look at all the wonderful work in the showcase HERE. Big thanks to Ash and his team for the honor, and for the nifty poster above!

My Family Guy spec is a finalist in the 2024 Scriptapalooza TV Writing Competition. The full list of finalists can be viewed HERE. Previously, the script was named to the 2023 STUNT LIST, which curates the scripts representing the best “Fusion of I.P. and Original Voice”.

This was also a chance to examine what it means to say someone is canceled, and explore the motivations of the people who claim the phenomenon simply doesn’t exist. And it was a lot of fun! For me, Family Guy is the gold standard legacy show; it could maybe afford to be a bit lazy and obvious at this point, but instead it gets better all the time.
