INDECENT EXPOSURE - TV PILOT

INDECENT EXPOSURE is a commentary on the pressure to "make it" now that fame is more accessible and fleeting than ever. The satirical comedy shows the darker side of desire and the toxicity of envy in a world where people only share the alluring aspects of their lives.

The film industry can increase these pressures when everybody is scrambling for the same limited attention and opportunities. It feels like there is a time limit on success and we have to make it while we are young or you are a failure.

However, the story is not just about the cutthroat film industry. Social media such as Tiktok, Youtube and Instagram have made it easier than ever to seek external validation, young people are measuring their self-worth by likes, comments and engagement.

This culture creates resentment towards yourself and envy for others. This could lead the most self-assured individual down a dangerous path for the pursuit of external validation and fame.

This story is a mirror of the struggles of my generation where the lines between performance and reality are constantly blurred.

Synopsis:

Frankie is a sociopathic actress who becomes fixated on an up-and-coming casting director, Carrie.

Hoping to leverage information gathered through stalking, Frankie shows up at Carrie’s workplace, aiming to charm her to secure an audition for the lead role in a massive blockbuster.

Frankie discovers that the receptionist of the casting process is sleeping with Carrie’s boyfriend, Adam. After exposing Adam’s secret to gain leverage over Carrie, she infiltrates Carrie’s personal and professional life, becoming her roommate and the new receptionist.

With her new non-assuming position of power, she sabotages the remainder of the auditions. As a final resort to cast the lead, the film director, Victor Truman, reluctantly agrees to let Frankie audition.

The audition goes well, and for a moment, it seems Frankie’s dreams are about to come true.

Until Maya, an actress Frankie had seemingly “dealt with” previously returns and quickly becomes Victor’s new favourite

Frankie’s desperation turns deadly when trying to get Maya out of the picture.

As the writer and director of INDECENT EXPOSURE I am super excited to see this project come to life! Film & TV is such a big part of my life as a filmmaker and an actor and I wanted to make something fun that also works as a social commentary.

As my final project at IADT, I cannot wait to collaborate with all the other courses to create our shared vision. I'm eager to work alongside such a passionate and creative team, and I can’t wait to see how our efforts will result in something truly special, dark yet humorous.

INDECENT EXPOSURE is a darkly comedic look at the Hollywood dream, exploring both its dazzling appeal and the hidden costs that come with pursuing fame. It dives into the lives of those who are drawn to the entertainment industry, revealing the sacrifices, compromises, and emotional struggles that often lie beneath the surface of success.

As producer, I’m drawn to stories that tackle the complexities of ambition, identity, and the human desire for recognition. This pilot offers a chance to explore these themes through compelling, character-driven storytelling that balances humour with sharp insight. It peels back the glossy exterior of Hollywood to reveal the realities behind the dream, capturing both the allure and the challenges of striving for something bigger.

My goal with INDECENT EXPOSURE is to create a pilot that connects with modern audiences, sparking thought and conversation about the meaning of success and the lengths people will go to achieve it. It’s a story that is entertaining, relatable, and deeply resonant, inviting viewers to reflect on their own aspirations and the cost of reaching them.
