0The Launch Pad Pilots Competition Presents… | |
Title: | SOUTH OF THE 10 |
Logline: | A tough-as-nails female boxer is about to catch her big break, only to discover that the world of pro boxing and endorsement deals isn’t ready to embrace a gender ambiguous girl, even if she’s a killer in the ring. |
Pitch: | KINGDOM meets ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK |
Writer: | Davina Willett |
Genre: | Drama | Sports |
Why to Read: | The characters and the world of the pilot feel fresh and different –we’ve seen Los Angeles in countless TV shows, but the writer centers the majority of the action in neighborhoods that aren’t often explored, while highlighting characters of gender, sexual, and racial minorities. The writer excels at writing characters who don’t fit into the standard boxes, especially the protagonist Lucky, whose status as a gay woman elevates the oft-told boxing story into something totally new and different, with high stakes, exciting action, and plenty of emotional drama. Polished, professional writing helps to highlight the immersive and detailed story world, while the story itself still packs a major punch. |
