0| The Launch Pad Pilot Competition Presents… | |
| Title: | BUS LEAGUE KNOCKS |
| Logline: | A diverse group of baseball players fighting for a shot at the majors find themselves in the wild and cutthroat world of the minor leagues, navigating crazed fans, corrupt coaches, and backstabbing teammates as they travel from city to city fueled by little pay, little sleep, and big dreams. |
| Pitch: | FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS meets EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! |
| Writer: | Mary Cardenas |
| Genre: | Drama | Sports |
| Why to Read: | An exceptionally well-written pilot that seamlessly balances rich and relevant dramatic topics such as race and class with the humor and realism of its characters, elevating this show well beyond its setting. In the same way that FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS is remembered as a powerful drama rather than a sports show, this series provides a smart and relatable set of characters with a grounded and emotional look at what it means to fight for your dreams, deal with your losses, and remember to have a little fun in between. This is a broadcast or cable show that has seasons of story to pluck from and a built-in audience just waiting for it. |
