Hello Television Arts Collective Followers!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to our two rounds of pitching. We were overwhelmed with how much creativity there was!

Now, the exciting part: Here are our shows for this season!

Neverland, series: an "Atlanta"-esque drama about what it's like to never leave your hometown after high school.

God's Birthday, short: All of the prophets from all of the religions come together to celebrate God's birthday. Spoiler alert: it doesn't go well.

A Cyclopean Task: When a new cyclops moves into a nearby forest, it's mating hormones cover the town in a miasma of rust. Left with the blame, a blacksmith and a reluctant alchemist must stop this without throwing the fantasy ecosystem out of balance.

Vegetarian Fridge, sketch: Two roommates find that their fridge has a very particular taste, and won't accept any meat anymore.

80's Reenactments, sketch series: Short videos demonstrating how to do mundane activities in a cool way, derivative of 80's "How-To" videos

DILFing Around (tentative title), series: What's life like when your dad is insanely hot, and you're insanely not?

Erotic Moms (tentative title), series: A Mockumentary following a messed up adult film, "My Mother My Mistress" and the insane production issues that occur.

Tales from the Dorm: Elevator Microsociety (tentative title), episode: After an elevator gets stuck, a group of students form a microsociety around worshipping their professor.

Cold Call (tentative title), series: Three friends are dealing with college classes, juggling friends, and resentment. And then because as a college student, why would anything go right: zombies attack.

Again, thank you all for coming out, and be sure to come to our writing workshop next week, where we'll also be gathering writing teams!
