The Pitch Tank with Ian Olympio
The Pitch Tank brought one of television's most compelling rising voices into the room with Stage 32 writers. Ian Olympio is an award-winning writer and producer whose career is defined by his decade-long journey on P-VALLEY — the Emmy-nominated, NAACP Award-winning Starz drama from Tony Award-winning playwright Katori Hall. Ian began the series as Katori Hall's Showrunner's Assistant and rose to Co-Executive Producer over nearly ten years by her side, developing an intimate, ground-level understanding of how prestige television is built from the inside out. P-VALLEY has become one of the most critically acclaimed dramas on television, celebrated for its fearless character-driven storytelling and its unflinching portrait of the American South. What made Ian's perspective especially valuable in the Pitch Tank was the full arc of his experience — from assistant to Co-Executive Producer on the same show, working directly under one of the most distinctive creative voices in American drama. He understands how a pitch becomes a pilot, how a character becomes a series engine, and what separates the drama pitches that land from the ones that fall flat in the room. Since 2021, he has also partnered with the WGA East to run the Support Staff Training Program — a bootcamp he created to mentor the next generation of TV assistants — which signals a genuine commitment to developing talent at every level of the industry. Writers came to pitch their dramas, to watch others in the room and sharpen their instincts, and to hear how someone who has lived inside prestige television thinks about story. Five timed minutes, honest feedback, and the kind of clarity that changes how you walk into every pitch room after this one.
