TV Pilots

A sketchbook which makes a 10 year old imagination come to life, a guy where everything goes wrong and a whole bunch of scripts which didn't make it to production.

The Sketchbook (2021) is a sitcom which follows Nigel, who lacks confidence and self respect. Being divorced he’s filled with single Dad guilt. He moonlights as a wedding Toastmaster, pushed around by his work colleagues and guests.

He’s tried for many years to be a successful author, but every script he’s produced has failed. Wanting him to be happy his 10 year old daughter draws him a girlfriend in a cursed antique sketch book, which Nigel gives her for her birthday. Little does she know that what is drawn within it is brought to life, with dire consequences.
