Two television pilots for discussion
The Third Wheel written by Stephanie Law
When a free-spirited young woman moves in with her lawyer
brother and his bossy girlfriend, things get a little…awkward. This is a 1/2
comedy about jealousy, insecurity, and tolerating the people in our lives —
even if we really, really don’t want to.
Sol written by Genevieve Heineman
The pilot episode of SOL sets up the family dynamics and
reveals hidden secrets of the dysfunctional Solano family. Amid power struggles between the siblings,
Papa Solano announces to his family that after their debt to a Mexican drug
cartel is paid off, he will take Mama and retire to his dream home in Mexico
City. He is oblivious to the fact that Mama is very unhappy and has met an
attractive woman who is determined to convince Mama to leave him.
Sudz Sutherland (Writer/Director) works on both sides of the
fence as a freelance writer and director for Dramas and Documentaries. Home
Again, Sudz’ sophomore feature film, is the follow up to his multiple award
winning and Genie nominated debut feature film Love, Sex and Eating the
Bones. Sudz’s powerful half-hour dramatic debut, My Father’s Hands screened
at The Toronto International Film Festival. It went on to win prizes in Canada
and internationally. He has also completed the dramatic miniseries Guns which
won five Gemini Awards including Best Writing and Directing. Sudz’ episodic
television directing work includes Heartland, Da Kink in my Hair and Degrassi:
The Next Generation.
