LIFE WITHOUT LAURA – Catlan McClelland (Launch Pad)
0The Launch Pad Pilots Competition Presents… | |
Title: | LIFE WITHOUT LAURA |
Logline: | Fired from her NY fashion job, ignored by her family and dumped by her boyfriend, sweet Laura wins back everyone’s love the only way she can think of: by faking terminal cancer. |
Pitch: | THE BIG C meets UGLY BETTY |
Writer: | Catlan McClelland |
Genre: | Comedy | Drama |
Why to Read: | This pilot strikes the perfect balance of drama and comedy, its dialogue and description are sharp, and its structure and act breaks are perfectly paced. Perhaps its most impressive accomplishment is the way it creates a sympathetic protagonist out of a woman who, for very selfish reasons, is pretending to have cancer. That moral complexity adds depth and humor to the story, while providing endless opportunities for goofy and dramatic lies, schemes, and failures to flesh out multiple seasons of compelling storytelling. The writer has a sharp, edgy voice and a great understanding of dramatic structure. |
