| Title: | DIRTY THIRTIES |
| Logline: | When a random hookup discovers a lump in her breast and her dirty thirties are rudely interrupted, a woman must navigate a cancer diagnosis alongside the struggles of her already messy life. |
| Pitch: | 50/50 meets CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND |
| Writer: | Jennifer Schuster |
| Genre: | Comedy | Drama |
| Why to Read: | Balancing raunchy comedy with poignant stories, this pilot ambitiously takes on the topic of cancer and finds a unique and touching tone in the process, one which feels simultaneously over-the-top, relatable, and viscerally millennial. Dani is a sympathetic protagonist whose tragic circumstances never drag down the fun of the script due to her R-rated dialogue and wild child antics. With a bold premise that should have been a major risk, this pilot accomplishes everything it sets out to do and more, setting up a series with a ton of potential for cutting humor and insightful emotion. |
