Logline #1: NEXT TO ME - TV Show - After a shooting that leaves a small Texan town in shambles, the traumatized Asian American family must deal with their grief and soldier forward, but this proves complicated with the skeletons in their closet.
Logline #2: THE FOXGLOVE - TV Show - In 1920 New York, Asian-American CIARA is determined to prove herself as the rightful heir of her Irish American mob family, but that is easier said than done with the FBI, rival gangs, and her own family on her tail.
Logline #3: MURDER THE MUSICAL IN TOKYO - TV Show - A non-binary time-traveling assassin takes refuge in modern day Tokyo, but their safety is compromised when enemies from their past and future descend on the city. Hiding would be easier if they weren’t moonlighting as a J-pop star!
