• DIRTY LEGAL SECRETS: The TV Pilot

    When high-strung KD ZACHS lands a job as the company lawyer for a Brooklyn startup, she’s thrust into a world where there are no rules — which means she has to make some. Luckily she has a crew of fellow startup lawyers — ASHNA, JEN, and OWEN — to confide in. It’s especially helpful since her CEO, TREY, has his own agenda, which may or may not be following the letter of the law.

    PRAISE:


    "Interesting likable characters, legal themes, a challenging CEO, a cute kid and a bit of potential romance set in NY are a recipe for a terrific series."

    "I love this humor. It gives similar vibes to the Big Bang Theory (one of my favorites) in that it shows what it's like to live & work with entrepreneurs (vs. scientists)."

    "I was pleasantly surprised that, unexpectedly, I found myself giggling at different conversations/scenarios!"

    "The plot certainly has legs."

    "Enjoyable, scary, and relatable. Can't wait to watch it on screen!"

    "Nice mix of serious, funny, heartwarming story lines ... with quite the dramatic twist! I didn't get bored even once."

    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…
