Content Development

Content development began to happen as a result of the increased number of meetings in which we were becoming a larger part of the content talks. As human consumption behavior was seismically shifting we were finding the demands for different takes on content creation growing. We immediately fell in love with the process.
The following items are in various stages of development. If interested in getting involved, please contact us.
Commune Network
experimental serial content | casting for hosts | considering broadcasting partners
network/content conduit | first discussions of model | considering financial partners
Creatives are often tasked with defending why creative fields and the arts themselves are an integral part of a healthy society. Because it is hard to define the exact measurable effect of the arts it’s often pushed to the side. But artists have always been at the center of change.
Commune Network gives artists the power to create content and helps them distribute it in various ways to raise the collective voices of American artists. The platform would use artificial intelligence to determine connected themes within the contributions of the multitude of artists and creatives expressing themselves; creating a stronger collective artistic voice the real human artistic voice of this nation.
Mother
experimental serial content | casting for host | considering broadcasting partners
Whether she was a good one or not, we all seem to be hard-wired to defend and care for our mothers no matter what. What if we could open all humanity’s eyes to see the Earth, the one planet that gives us life and a home is like our mother? Curated content from artists, filmmakers, writers or anyone will be broadcast to manifest that ideology. With this series, we can get to the root of wrong thinking and affect change so that positive behaviors will follow.
Hell With The Lid Off
semi-autobiographical serial content | interviewing for co-writer out outlined script | script in development
This scripted series takes a humorous look at the first years I found myself unceremoniously escorted out the door of publishing (“SECURITY!!!”) quickly followed by closing my studio as well as being pushed out of my beloved NYC. Everything was changing and I found myself back in my hometown, living in my mother’s basement and discovering very truly… “there but for the grace of God, go I…”
Fi2 (fix it or fuck it)
critical mass civil action experiment | discussions on broadcast format options
This concept has gone through several rotations, wild turns and realignments before finally landing solidly as my personal serenity prayer. We need to fix what we can and honestly let go of the rest. If we all do this, the world can change for the better everywhere for everyone.
God, grant me the serenity to just ACCEPT IT if I cannot change it, the courage to FIX IT if I can, And the wisdom to know when to just say FUCK IT!
Oyster
serial content | casting for host couple
Inspired by a fun and frisky couple that I was visiting for dinner, this series focuses on aphrodisiacs to create a wacky and wild cooking show designed to inspire couples to cook together as they discover their passions through the parallel passions of food and sex. And of course while having a lot of laughs doing it.
Leia’s Dead
podcast | guests on society and pop culture | interviewing for executive producer
2016 was the the year Prince, David Bowie and Carrie Fisher died – a tough year that felt like all our heroes were leaving this world until we realized this is actually a constant in any year.
Our idols and inspirations will not be here forever, and the loss we feel is real. This podcast focuses on the cultural changes that happen when those that shaped our lives no longer will. Where do we go? Who do we look to in the future?
Sacrament
serial content | casting for host | interviewing for writer
This is a show about passion - fanatical passions for both religion and sex, the two most dominant forces affecting the human race. No matter what side of this fence you find yourself on, there are times when the two look more alike than different; and both run with parallel truths as well.
We are currently searching for a host with passion and fire in their own belly to take the viewer on this journey.
Two Old Hookers
serial content | screen tests and experimentation with content currently
Coming out in 1990’s NYC was incredible. All the stories you have heard about how things were back then are true. They were really dynamic and exciting times when the downtown scene wasn’t just the latest instagramable event; it was a complete lifestyle and an entire universe to many of us. Sadly, those of us who lived it know it is completely gone now.
My partner and I often talk about how during those times when the gay world was still oppressed it made our wild outlets all the more necessary and defining. With acceptance, the gay community is losing something that will be discussed in the ramblings of two old gay men that may not turn heads today, but turned tricks like pros back then.
