I was hired to whittle down and punch up stale synopses, craft catchy loglines, and entice international media buyers to purchase A+E's programming at MIPCOM—the ultimate global platform for the television and streaming worlds, where international media execs and creatives from over 100 countries converge.

BAD PEOPLE MAKE GOOD TV
UNREAL
The real drama starts when the cameras stop rolling in this high-octane, critically acclaimed, Peabody Award-winning guilty pleasure.
Constance Zimmer (Entourage) and Shiri Appleby (Roswell, Swimfan) star as producers of the salacious dating reality show, Everlasting, who manipulate their contestants into bad behavior for the sake of ratings gold.
