SILVER

Zane Huddleston, 43 year-old Hollywood action star of the 'Abe R. Cadabra' family franchise...married to best-selling mystery author Cecile Cushing...is outed by a series of hacked texts and photographs exchanged with a male co-star. As Universal suspends production on the 5th installment of the anticipated blockbuster about a widowed magician and his two adopted kids, those around Zane converge to salvage his career and their own reliance on it, but at what expense?

And it's called 'Silver'. It's a proposed dramatic and adult television series for a premium channel or a network otherwise unfettered by broadcast standards and practices.

I have fully scripted the first four episodes to fully demonstrate the story arc, sly irony, a measure of darkness and commentary on celebrity. As specific as the main plot point is, 'Silver' is not wholly LGBTQ, as it crosscuts between the many people impacted by the jarring revelation: Zane's wife, his lover, the lover, his team of handlers and employees, Universal studio management, elderly father, brothers, fans and endorsements. As memories, agendas, revelations and betrayals merge it is, by season's end, also a mystery.

The pilot is about an hour; subsequent episodes are between 30-45 minutes.
