0| The Launch Pad Pilots Competition Presents… | |
| Title: | SLOW COMING |
| Logline: | After being widowed, a Spanish socialite hires a female gunslinger to pose as her husband in order to claim her inheritance, all while evading a group of bounty hunters. |
| Pitch: | DEADWOOD meets FARGO |
| Writer: | Jared Laberdesque |
| Genre: | Drama | Period | Western |
| Why to Read: | A very ambitious period pilot that looks to the sweeping, character-driven grandeur of DEADWOOD or WESTWORLD, this piece thrives on the strengths of its clear, concise, and polished writing. What allows it to stand apart from other westerns is the introduction of Charley, who has a checkered past and who is revealed to be a woman in disguise, allowing for a complex interrogation of gender and its role in the Wild West. The character work is strong across the board, while the clever structure juggles plenty of moving parts while driving forward to a satisfying and enticing conclusion. |
