A Pitch for Sex is Power
A huge thank you to William for bringing Sex is Power to us and for setting the project out so clearly. We at Hollywood Indie Festival are cheering you on as you continue to create. The pitch follows below.
After nearly ten years of marriage, a wife is cast aside with nothing by her husband who is deeply rooted in the political "boys club" of Washington D.C. She is left with no choice but to show them why Sex is Power. Her goal is to bring down that "boys club" of men who think they're untouchable.
Women of all demographics who will relate to a storyline surrounding a woman seeking vengeance for a wrongful divorce; socially and economically poor and mid-tier wealthy Black audiences who love to see themselves represented in polished ways in a political drama; and professionals who love to watch well crafted dramas closely relating to their career fields.
Comparable shows include Tyler Perry's The Oval and The Haves and the Have Nots; Courtney Kemp's Power; and Lee Daniels' and Danny Strong's Empire.
The Oval is the most closely related, however, all the other shows have elements of how I envision Sex is Power to be written and presented.
With Donald Trump as President (the ultimate "boys club" member) and the release of the Epstein files, interest in politics and the surrounding players is at an all time high. A show depicting a political advisor in that "boys club" discarding his wife, and her subsequent revenge quest can garner huge interest and success if done right.
Sex is Power is at this time, still available. My goal is to obtain a script option or sale, and barring that, at the very least to gain representation from an experienced agent with a track record for success.
