Original Series Development
Screenwriting for Disney, NBC, PBS, Nick, Saban and more
Screenwriting and series development for Disney, NBC, PBS, Nick, Saban and more. I founded Eat Your Lunch in 2002 and ran it until 2020. We developed original content and sold it across entertainment, brand, and digital. Projects commissioned for those networks and others.
My role on each project was the same in practice: I conceived the idea, wrote the pitch, ran development, and stayed on as creative director through execution. Sometimes I also directed and edited. If you want to see something specific, ask.
I also ran writing and pitch masterclasses at international TV trade conferences. Teaching rooms of students and working writers how to build a series pitch turned out to be one of the better educations I got.

A digital pilot for PBS starring Moldover—the guy who built his own instrument and soldered it into his body. Music technology explained by someone who actually lives inside it.

Freaky Frankenbike Patrol

Salty Bacon the bellman makes it worse. Hero the concierge fixes it while fighting a snake-dragon. Cat keeps the wheels on. Developed for Fremantle, ages 8–11.

El Gordo
