Abstract:
This creative project is the development of an original pilot, Technically IN , and first
season treatment for the half-hour comedy inspired by the Mary Tyler Moore show. It centers on
Madeline, a woman on the cusp of 30 in a period of reinvention. After supporting her boyfriend
through a PhD program for several years, she realizes his support of her career aspirations is
lacking. She decides to leave him and relocate to Indianapolis. There she moves in with Autumn,
a college friend who lives on one side of a duplex owned by Charlotte, Madeline’s childhood
friend and their fellow college classmate who lives with her family on the other side of the
duplex. Madeline pursues a new career as a developer at a small Indianapolis app development
agency. There she must navigate being one of the only women in the office and finds that the
core team is reluctant to give her work and honor her spot on the team. As the season progresses
Madeline finds her place in the office, eventually developing friendships with her coworkers
while continuing to face issues of sexism and equality as a woman in tech. Additional project
files including the treatment and pilot script.
