"Sound Check" Television Pilot

Click on the Updates Tab to keep up with how our project is going! 

We are television production students at California State University Northridge. "Sound Check" is a pilot television episode for our Senior Thesis course.  We are collaborating as a crew in order to bring this production to life. Our thesis course is our final hurdle before going out and creating other works of our own. 

What is "Sound Check” all about?

An aspiring young singer struggles to get her big break while an established young music producer is pressured to find his next star.  Does she have what it takes to realize her dream? Does he have the ear to discover the next big thing?  

Our pilot requires a lot to finance. Here is how your donations will be broken down:

External hard drives, sound equipment, lighting equipment, catering, generators, location permits, makeup, wardrobe, props, camera equipment rentals, post sound mixing, color correction, transportation, truck rental, contingencies
