Siblings Budget: $100K - $1M | Comedy "Siblings" is an odd-couple comedy TV series set in New York about siblings—an anxiety-riddled aspiring novelist KIRAN (early 30s, white) and his wild younger sister JADE (late 20s, Indian-American) who barrels into his quiet literary life like a punk-rock wrecking ball. While the heart of the show is about their friendship, it’s also a satire on our identity-obsessed culture viewed through the New York literary scene, exploring the themes of identity, ambition, belonging, acceptance, and ultimately family.

Paper Birds Budget: $1M - $5M | Comedy A young neuroscientist, numbed out in the rat race of New York City, unexpectedly receives a series of notebooks that once belonged to a childhood friend whose suicide remains a mystery. The bizarre short stories in these notebooks (sci-fi, fantasy, noir) open up a world of wild imagination, danger, and intrigue, revealing clues about what really happened to his friend. As he starts to rediscover his excitement for life and adventure through these stories, his sense of wonder is reignited, blending the real with the surreal and setting him on a path of self-discovery and possibly self-destruction.
