Pitch: “A teenage girl with nonverbal autism, failing to fit in with her peers at high school, ends up walking closer and closer to Hell in this darkly atmospheric teen drama set in 1970s West Virginia.”
Basically I looked at Music, Riverdale, and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and thought “Hey, I could do that!”
I have an outline for a pilot down but I still have a lot of unknowns. Ask me a question, any question at all.
How weathered is the hometown? There was a boom in housing right after WWII, and this is the height of Vietnam. Boys are worried about the draft (need a high enough GPA to go to college, and colleges were strict). My father was a couple years off being sent to that war when all his brothers went and one died from Agent Orange complications before I was born.
So, are guys more worried about being dragged off into a war, if they’re the right lot?
Hometown has a bit if an interesting history. It was originally a mining town but was abandoned after a massive collapse. It was repopulated a few decades after and has the largest community of Satanists in the country.
