719. Fearlessly Failing: Creating a TV pilot with Weston & Wade


Listen Later


Weston and Wade McElhaney are the showrunners, writers and producers of their new TV pilot "Codependent" which they also both star in (I was lucky enough to get to film for a day on this pilot too, so much fun)!Check out the pilot trailer here: Codependent Trailer


Wade and Weston are born and raised in Los Angeles, they've been acting since they were kiddos. They studied screenwriting at Chapman University. And have gone viral on both TikTok and Youtube over the years for their parodies. 


These two humans are funny, witty and hard working. They're also extremely humble and curious. I get the vibe they always tell you the truth too. In this chat they even talk about auditioning for Ryan Murphy and how the audition didn't go exactly according to plan. 


Now let's talk more about the pilot, they share what goes on when it comes to creating your own pilot from writing it, rewriting it, to raising funds and booking the right people for the jobs. 
In a nutshell Codependent is a TV show pilot about twin brothers Max and Tristan. They're great at being brothers, not so much at being their own person. The pilot starts off with them sucking at their jobs and getting fired which leads them to compete for the same film assistant job. Spoiler alert: only one of them gets the job... but that doesn't mean they can't both do it?
Speaking of raising funds, this is often a hard part of bringing dreams to life, but thanks to Seed & Spark they were able to raise a bunch of money to film in both Los Angeles and New York, but now it's post production time so they need our help. You can donate and pledge here, and they have a bunch of fun merch to buy too, I have the tote bag! Support here

Big love,
