However, before focusing on writing, he attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where he studied all aspects of Film/TV and edited a short documentary which won honorable mention at the Sundance Film Festival.

Pilot Title: BLOOD ON THE WALL

Logline: A brilliant, black, teenage muralist uses his newfound fame in the Philadelphia art world to fight the violence in his neighborhood, but he’s caught between a drug dealer and a cop who vie for power and attack his every move.

Script Summary: Julius, a black, teenage, street artist in West Philly paints eye-catching murals of black people being murdered. He’s hoping his murals will somehow inspire people to stop the violence that surrounds him. Unfortunately, his art is seen as vandalism, causing him to be hunted by the white cop who killed his brother, as he also evades a local gang leader who is suspicious of his motives. But when Julius paints the side of a famous white artist’s house, the famous artist connects him to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This gives Julius power by turning him into a local celebrity. Although he’s uncomfortable in the upper-class museum world, Julius becomes a kind of “kingpin for peace,” playing the cops, criminals, and museum community against each other, creatively manipulating them to keep himself alive and to further his very long-term and seemingly impossible goal of bringing peace to his neighborhood.

Pilot Title: Boys of Summer

Logline: When superstar pitcher Cole Tremble comes out as the first openly gay athlete in American sports, a former political strategist uses her savvy to parlay Cole’s bravery into a renaissance for Major League Baseball.

Script Summary:

After Major League Baseball cuts its three least profitable teams out of the league, one of the sport’s biggest stars — COLE TREMBLE — comes out of the closet. In turn, MLB hires a political strategist, and daughter of a former ballplayer, named RYAN SUMMER to be Cole’s publicist. Much like Frank Underwood in the early days of House of Cards, Ryan uses her new position to play puppeteer, orchestrating the changes she believes will save the game. But in baseball’s close-mindedness, they refuse to accept the help of a young, African American female.

It all comes to a head when Ryan puts her job on the line, betting that having Cole Tremble pitch on Opening Night will yield higher TV ratings than the NFL Draft the game airs against. Ryan winds up being right, thanks to Cole pitching a no-hitter. But while she was consumed with promoting Cole’s highly anticipated Opening Night start, her biggest adversary was busy stealing her best idea for marketing the sport. He then parlayed it into being elected the new Commissioner of Major League Baseball; or in other words — Ryan’s boss!
