NUTHOUSE is a single-camera half-hour comedy about the trials and tribulations of the recession-afflicted souls who dare share a L.A. boardinghouse run by a big ole boob and a bully, known as “the Trog.”

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
If you think the recession hasn’t begun, it has… for some. Just take a ride to the big belly of Los Angeles and step inside the NUTHOUSE. Not an insane asylum exactly, but more a nest for folks who are going cuckoo living under the stubby thumb of Borbala Franks (aka the Trog), a prickly Bulgarian and steadfast troglodyte.

Each one of these inmates has big dreams and is yanking at their thrift store bootstraps to fulfill them. All financially forlorn, they think a 401K is a really long race. No normal person would stay more than one day under the helm of the Trog, but these are abnormal days and they’re just happy to have a room and a toilet not too far away. Gothic on the outside, musty 80’s on the inside, the NUTHOUSE has five bedrooms, a cottage out back (aka “the crapper”), a communal kitchen and a main area where Yoda, the Trog’s dead dog rug, bogarts the floor landscape.

We’ll peer into the world of the NUTHOUSE inhabitants…the relationships, the love, the hate, the up, the down, the dysfunction and the utter lunacy that happens when life doesn’t go exactly how you dreamed. Among the nuts are Valda—the Depressed German, Doho—the yogi/spy, Sally—the unemployed writer, Beau, Blue, Bette & Rory—the flight attendants who occupy “the crapper,” Cleopatra—the resident ghost, and the biggest nut of all—the Trog.

ANGEL FLIGHT is a one-hour scripted drama series (“Touched by an Airplane”) that centers on the brave pilots and tireless office crew of a heroic non-profit whose mission is to save lives. No matter what it takes. 

(The series is inspired by the real-life charitable organization that goes by the same name.)

SHOW DESCRIPTION: 
The ANGEL FLIGHT crew is an eclectic and tight-knit group. Their sole purpose is to save lives. And every morning they gather in their space-challenged, thrift-store-littered office (except for the treasured high-tech ‘Mission Board’ which makes the Droid look like a Neanderthal) at the Santa Monica Airport to do just that. 

ANGEL FLIGHT’s stories will cross the western states as their missions range from domestic violence relocations, emergency organ transport, disaster rescues, fulfilling last wishes, helping our Wounded Warriors, to children seeking life and death medical treatments. Without ANGEL FLIGHT literally taking to the skies, hope fades. And people die. 

Amidst the day-to-day struggle between life and death, the crew and pilots of ANGEL FLIGHT will face their heartrending work with all the guts and grace they can muster, often resorting to humor to balance their day. We will see them as they truly are: real, modern-day heroes, doing the right thing not for profit, but because it is the right thing to do.  The nature of this work leaves no one untouched, unscarred, or unmoved; the stakes are too high, the situations too dire and the emotions, too raw. And in one way or another, everyone is forced to face their own ghosts, demons and shadows in the course of getting it done.

SASSY, CASSY & LASSY is a weekly half-hour children’s cartoon series, featuring three rookie angels and their awesome adventures.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
An animated ‘“Charlie’s Angels” meets the “Wizards of Waverly Place”’—this television show is absolutely coolie-toolie. It is fun-filled and jam-packed with humor, jeopardy, suspense…and magic! We will follow SASSY, CASSY & LASSY from assignment to assignment (given to them by their mighty mentor and harp hugger, Enchantressdramaleena –“the boss”-) as they flap over the moon and across the sky, landing on earth to solve mysteries, help those in need and fulfill their dream: “To be a stellar rookie angel.” Whether it’s Sassy’s motto (“Sassy’s my name, scouting skunks is my game.”), Cassy’s wild wand work or Lassy’s excellence at planet navigation, this team has the heavens all stirred up. They are the ‘it’ trio. And the other rookies are getting caught in their cloud dust. Easy to identify with, SASSY, CASSY & LASSY are impossible to resist. We will fly along with these rookie angels, episode after episode, as they frolic and fight for freedom for all. Yeshadremcatrem!

The Rookie Angel Code: 
Tap your tiny toes three times.
Flap your flying wings three times.
Blink your magical eyes three times.
And yell…
“Yeshadremcatrem!”
“Yeshadremcatrem!”
“Yeshadremcatrem!”

LOGLINE:
HOLA is a unique reality television series that takes us into the inner world of children hiding from their gang, drug-infested streets and the noble individuals who struggle to keep them safe.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Nestled in the Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA), there is a real-life sanctuary that lures hundreds of these youths and inspires them to take the higher road. They are not just offered cookies and milk, but quality arts, athletics, educational programs–and the hope, self-esteem and positive values that it takes to combat enormous peer-pressure every single day. All it took was one effervescent man with the altruistic thought to keep kids out of the reins of gangs to engineer this extraordinary non-profit organization. Mitch Moore (and his insatiable spirit) developed its membership from five children in 1989 to over 3100 in 2024. This non-scripted series blends the experiences of the youth and staff, allowing us into their private lives, loves and losses, their challenges and triumphs. Every week we will be rooting for these kids (Henry, Yolanda, Libni, Charles, Jenny…) and sometimes they won’t make it. But we will still be on their team, watching and hoping they will pull out a win even at the very last moment. HOLA is a series that will indulge the senses, endear our hearts and uplift our spirits. These stories are living proof that it just takes one person to make a difference, and viewers will not be able to get enough of HOLA.
