0The Launch Pad Pilots Competition Presents… | |
Title: | MASS MOCA |
Logline: | At a struggling contemporary art museum in rural Massachusetts, a long-suffering department head wrangles interns, janitors, and a wacky artist-in-residence in order to keep the lights on and the artistic dream alive. |
Pitch: | COMMUNITY meets PARKS AND RECREATION |
Writer: | Thomas O’Connor |
Genre: | Comedy |
Why to Read: | The real life setting of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in the middle of nowhere is what really shines here, easily elevating the premise and everything that occurs within its walls. The running jokes consistently land, and all the humor about the contemporary art world works without alienating readers who don’t have a great knowledge of it. The characters are interesting and well-drawn, and the wittily dry protagonist’s struggle is relatable to anyone who’s ever worked a job where they’ve been given a seemingly impossible task. Overall, this pilot is quirky and fun, chockfull of great dialogue and characters, and the unique location really makes it a standout. |
