After her daughter is bucked off her horse, Mama Jean forces the Jr. Rodeo Champion, Luna, to move away from the Wild West in the hopes of escaping their grief. When they arrive in their new home of Mary’s Hollow just one week before Halloween, they’re greeted by new friends, many of which come in the form of spirits, especially Sonny, who feels particularly called to help Luna get back on the horse. But nothing’s a surprise for these witchy women who regularly communicate with the dead… yet, as the two overcome their grief and loss, they make new friends, and begin a healing journey that could only be facilitated with the help of a little practical magic and big belief in the unknown.
Think – CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST meets JACK FROST meets GILMORE GIRLS… with just a touch of PRACTICAL MAGIC for a “Cinderella Cowgirl”.
In order to claim his share of his estranged father’s estate, celebrity chef Jack, must crew his dad’s trusty trawler from Maine to New York, just before Christmas. Or, according to his glitzy fiancé, just before their “Disco Eve” wedding. The two come aboard under the command of Captain Cal. As she skippers The Guppy through storms and secret fishing grounds, Cal and Jack fall into all of the best Christmas traditions at sea, as they also fall for each other.
Deep in the Sierra Mountains, a backcountry guide, Chamonix, falls for Travis, one of the new owners of her local ski resort.

When Anna wakes up in Purgatory, God and her guardian angel Steve quickly let it slip that she’s royally failed her life’s mission – she was supposed to save the world, but all she actually accomplished was wrapping up one really excellent 2am burrito. Now, she’s getting a second chance (well 99 second chances to be exact), to go back, find love, mend the past and make things right. But when the fate of the world rests on her waking up, hungover in Tijuana, again, and again, it seems more like God’s got a sick sense of humor than a hankering to save the planet.

They say that 33% of Americans believe that the reptilian elite embody all of our world leaders, celebrities and influencers. Is that true? The hell if I know.

In the world of Hunter S. Thompson, there’s bound to be a few wannabes… but to me she looks pretty dam legit. When a young journalist in the 1970s tries her hand at Gonzo journalism, she’s swept up in the drug-induced partying, the booze-hounding, and the overall air that she perceives to be the life force of Gonzo journalism. So much so, that she forgets who she is as she embodies life as a female Hunter S. But doesn’t she know? GONZO IS DEAD baby, and we’re all just playing catch up. (A 30 minute pilot)

So it’s up to you: which do you MARY, F*CK, KILL? ( A 60 minute pilot)
