Over the past couple of months I’ve written an 8 episode sitcom. Here are the first 15 pages of the pilot, “Wellness Retreat”.
PLOT: After Abby’s job start date is delayed, she’s stuck in her childhood home indefinitely . Abby, her artist best friend Bea, and a rotating group of stranded graduates attempt to chase their dreams, or just survive suburban purgatory.
THEMES: The gap between expectations and reality after college. The illusion of adulthood and professionalism. How the internet both enables and haunts young people. The fractured selves we present irl vs online. Performative ambition, moral posturing, and the pressure to “brand” yourself.
