My Friends In Bantry

This was an idea that originated with background characters from another project I was working on. In the summer of 2017, I set out to write outlines for a few episodes, hoping to develop my characters and get my mind flowing before I started writing scripts. Then I decided to complete season 1, and the next thing I knew, I'd decided to write all six seasons' outlines. The project spanned a year and a half, five notebooks, all hand written with a black Pilot click pen (for the most part). I saved the first two I had up to that point from the California wildfires in October 2017. My family lost our house, and in the days, weeks, and months after we escaped with our lives, I wrote endlessly in those outlines. Visiting those characters became an escape, in a way, but also a form of therapy. This also included dreaming about. what it would be like to get to film the show with my dream cast.

The project as a whole is far from over, but the completion of this phase is bittersweet. I honestly can't wait to see what comes of it!
