Abstract
In this presentation, I will share my pitch deck for the television series I am developing in my FILM 4125 course this semester. My series examines a complex mother-daughter relationship, following a young woman who returns home when her mother’s cancer progresses. Ever since I began writing, I have been interested in exploring the emotional tug-of-war in mother-daughter relationships—particularly, the battle between a daughter’s innate love for her mother and the harm her mother inflicts. With this presentation, I will detail the lead characters, setting, and emotional arcs for my characters, and I will also detail my creative process in developing my television series.
