RIDESHARE WITH REBECCA

Rideshare With Rebecca (RWR) was a five part Non-Fiction Web Series, a fun insiders look from behind the wheel (and shotgun!).  

It’s difficult to grab executives’ attention, so I stole from Jerry Seinfeld’s handbook and decided to wrangle some of my colleagues into my car to talk all things TV.   In exchange, I offered to get them a bite to eat or a much needed errand done during their lunch hour.  We had some delightful conversations about the mechanics of TV from the perspectives of both executives and creatives. 

Some topics included: 

–  General meetings

– How to pitch a comedy and a drama 

– When a pilot is picked up… then what? 

These were shot a few years back, but the content is still relevant and I thought worth sharing.  For now, you can click onto the links to view both the *sizzle and episode one & two.

Guests included: 

  • USA Network, Executive VP, Current Scripted Programming & Limited Series, Michael Sluchan
  • Former CBS Head of Drama, Christina Davis
  • Showrunner, Lauren Iungerich (Currently has an Overall Deal at Netflix) 
  • Executive Producer, Michael McDonald (Formerly had a deal at ABC Studios) 
  • Former ABC VP of Comedy, Erika Kennair (Currently Erika is President of Production at Extracurricular, working with Malala Yousafzai in an overall deal with Apple.)
