Company Highlights

COCKROACHES (IN DEVELOPMENT)

Format:             TV show

Genre:               Dramedy

Screenplay:      Mariliza Antoniadou, Irene Dendi, Georgia Kanellopoulou, Aphrodite Katsarou, Stella Kyriakidi

The story takes place in the center of Athens with five young women as protagonists. A wannabe actress (Anastasia, 27), an instagrammer - personal trainer with a long-term relationship on the verge of collapse (Lydia, 28), a cloakroom employee who secretly writes erotica books inspired by her sexual fantasies (Helen, 28), a waitress who’s looking for what she wants to do with her life (Maria, 26), and a veterinary assistant who wants to make the world a better place (Zoi, 26). They all meet together one day at the subway platform. When they will understand that their meeting was not accidental, their lives will be changed irrevocably. The subway is strangely empty at rush hour and the girls are left alone on the platform. From the loudspeakers an unknown male voice announces to them that from now on, every month they will acquire a super power that will help them face the difficult reality they experience as women, each in a different way (objectification, lgbtq+ discrimination, oversexualized from society, guilt about sexuality, good-girl syndrome). The powers appear gradually, every month when they have their period. The girls band together to figure out what's going on and use it to their advantage. Forces and everyday life are complicated and create funny and very real situations and the stories that these five women ultimately live through the themes that concern all women today (harassment in the workplace, how women really talk about sex, internalized misogyny , sexually transmitted diseases, toxic masculinity, sex positivity, body image/beauty standards, etc.). They will soon understand that using powers fixes their problems, but only temporarily. When the powers turn out to be not so benevolent, they will find themselves confronted by the one who gave them. And then they will try to overthrow his regime. They will realize that their true strength is their unity, they will make it their life's purpose to take all femininities with them and they will succeed. If they don't come home tonight, burn the town down.

PICK 'N ROLL  (IN DEVELOPMENT)
Format:            TV show
     

A Los Angeles-based basketball agency, Elevation Sports Media (ESM), is in permanent crisis after it’s main partner and super agent, Michael Stich, suddenly leaves along with the company’s biggest star NBA clients. The departure finds the agents and Stich’s partner, Jason Bird, struggling to secure the agency’s future while balancing the demands of their remaining clients with their personal lives. As the agents start to find ways to recuperate financially, deploying constant reputation damage control and showcasing their skills and perseverance, dark secrets from the partners’ past, make things even more unpredictable, while a mole employee inside the company secretly undermines Elevation’s comeback.

LOOM  (IN DEVELOPMENT)
Format:            TV show 

Genre:              Dramedy 
 

The series narrates the events that take place in a 5 day conference. Five different storylines intertwine in various degrees - commenting, contrasting & complementing each other. Popular Greek American actor & CEO of LOOM (Light Οn Our Minds) THEOFANIA PETRAKIS organizes a "Self evolution through alternative-knowledge" convention, where rogue scientists & mystics share their wisdom. For the needs of the convention she airbnbs a village by the sea in Greece. The guest speakers of the event, treasured in their respective communities, arrive at the seemingly carefree environment of the event. We see how each day of the event influences the lives of our characters & how the various inexplicable setbacks of the conference itself -like missing projectors, lost vans & sabotaged dinner buffets- culminate the characters conflicts. In ep5 we get to find out the reasons behind these mysterious mishaps: In an episode that goes back 2 weeks before the convention & exposes the whole parallel action that has been going on up to the climactic end of day 4. But this time from the saboteurs point of view: the “evicted” villagers. During an electricity shut-down caused by the villagers, the different characters will find themselves at the most desperate moment - and in absolute darkness. In the final episode we get to see how this unexpected condition leads to the resolution of each storyline.
