"Late Night Buzz" - Late Night Talk Show Pilot

Donation protected

You’re walking down River street late one night when you see a neon pink glow behind the historic bricks.
You follow the light to find an audience of people laughing, stumbled upon a late-night comedy club. You’re transported back in time through the audience members, a nostalgic MTV late 90s- 00s look that reminds you of growing up.
You sit amongst these women, all joined in their individual perspectives of womanhood.
The buzz of the neon sign, the laughs of the woman around you, and you feel like you belong.

Late-night talk shows have always been around... but where are the women? Well, women aren’t funny! So to prove that we want to put on a whole show featuring women. To answer the age-old question: can women only talk in the morning?

A majority of donations will go towards building our set! The next largest segments are feeding our hard-working cast and crew, lodging/travel for guests, and costuming, all of which will help bring our vision to life.



We are currently in the pre-production phase, assembling the crew, fundraising, and developing the production design. The live studio audience shows will take place in late January 2026. Post-production will begin immediately after filming ends, and all work on the film is expected to be completed by Spring 2026.

November 2025 - December 2025: Team formation, fundraising, production design planning…

December 2025 - January 2026: Table reading, rehearsal, makeup and costume tests, shooting test…

January 2026: Live studio audience shows.

February 2026 - March 2026: Rough cut, final cut…
