I got a modest commission to create a spec script for a Portland-based sitcom to highlight the personality of that coastal town (and maybe take some attention away from Portlandia on the OTHER coast).
Some initial title ideas:
- Portland, the Other White Meet
- Bay Island Ferry
- Chebeague Island
- Don’t Come to Peaks Island
- Breezed Up
- Chuppta
Okay, that first one is a joke. And the others…. Hmm, we’ll see. Chuppta is supposedly an accented greeting of sorts. I wonder how that would go down.
Anyway, the goal is to get a pilot script written by the end of 2022. Let’s see how we go. I can get an extension if I need it, but would prefer not to.
Kind of excited.
Check back in regularly for updates! (or, you know, ask me on the street…)
