DIRTY LEGAL SECRETS:
THE TV PILOT
The television pilot is written by experienced comedy writer, Nicole Beckley (McSweeney's, Slackjaw), and Sarah Feingold. Think "English Teacher" with a hint of "Suits" and "Silicon Valley."
In late January, 2025, talented actors will bring the script to life on a Zoom reading.

DIRTY LEGAL SECRETS: BASED ON TRUE STARTUPS
A NEW PLAY
Tech startups disrupt our lives, our phones, and our privacy. As seen in the media, these businesses are often plagued with egos and scandals. The public, however, cannot access the full truth.
Insiders have witnessed legal and moral issues up close. But they are sworn to secrecy.
Until now…
