RIDESHARE WITH REBECCA
Rideshare With Rebecca (RWR) was a five part Non-Fiction Web Series, a fun insiders look from behind the wheel.
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 reel and episode(s) one & two.
Guests included:
- USA Network, Executive VP, Current Scripted Programming & Limited Series, Michael Sluchan
- Former CBS Head of Drama, Christina Davis
- Showrunner/Writer/Director/Producer, Lauren Iungerich (Currently has an Overall Deal at Netflix)
- Executive Producer, Michael McDonald (Currently head of Comedy and Drama Development SVOD-WhollyOwned – Prime Video & Amazon Studios)
- Former ABC VP of Comedy, Erika Kennair (Currently Head of Scripted for The Mediapro Studio)
*The sizzle reel was a Finalist, Women In Film Mini Upfronts for best Web Sizzle reel.
