This time slot is promising and will generate ad revenue in the young 18-35 demo that the show targets, as well as millions of potential viewers. Streaming Following suit of many NBC shows, the episodes will be allowed for steaming on NBC’s site, Hulu, Comcast on Demand, and iTunes 24 hours after the original air date. *This distribution plan reflects only the first season of Fairview. Potentials for syndication, international distribution, and DVD sales are not included, and presuppose the show being picked up for minumum one full season. An order for a minimum of 11 episodes (half a regular season) has been greenlit by NBC-Universal A budget is enclosed and predicts the production costs for the pilot episode. This in- SUMMARY cludes set construction, which will be minimized with the use of old sets on the NBC lot in LA. The budget reflects the costs for an initial writing team of 9 writers, plus head writer. The show will be broadcast, in compliment to FCC regulations, in wides- creen HD.

  • Gillian Robespierre on Getting a Movie Made
    February 2, 2017 - Writer/Director Gillian Robespierre is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker, born and raised in New York City. She graduated from the School of Visual Arts, Film & Video Program. Her first feature, Obvious Child premiered at Sundance in 2014. The film got a nod for the year's "Best Discovery" on iTunes and she won Best Directorial Debut from the National Board of Review. Her second feature Landline premiered at Sundance in 2017 and was sold to Amazon. She did not vote for Trump. As told to Brandon Stosuy, 2484 words. Tags: Film, Collaboration, Anxiety, Beginnings. Gillian Robespierre on getting a movie made The writer and director of Obvious Child and Landline talks about crisis and sadness in comedy, the importance of collaboration, and why finishing a second movie isn’t any easier than finishing the first. When I reached out to you, I said I wanted to talk about crisis and sadness in your comedy. At first you wanted to go in a different direction, but you changed your mind. At first I was afraid of your question, because I thought it was too early to analyze the new movie, Landline, and compare it to Obvious Child. I’m also so early in my career. I was nervous to explore it, but then sitting with my writing partner, Elizabeth Holm, and my editor, Casey Brooks, talking about comedy, talking about digging out what really matters in this scene, it dawned on me how important crisis and sadness is in my type of comedy, and how it’s important in storytelling.
