In this Scene Study episode, Sam and Jim invite Zach Freshley and J Hunter Richardson back in to the room to read and rework scenes from their pilots. If you'd like to follow along, you can download the scenes from our website! Scenes can be found by clicking the Guests tab.

In our first segment, we read the opening to "Under Investigation", a light drama about a private investigator who's wife suddenly reappears years after going missing. Sam and Jim work with Zach to bring out the character of his protagonist in the first scene of his pilot.

In our second segment, we read the opening to "Punx Not Dead", J Hunter Richardson's pilot about a punk rock medium trying to make a living in the valley. Sam and Jim work with J to create connective tissue in order to create a series of scenes that build as well as establish his characters and world.

Special thanks to Meagan Daine for helping out as a voice actor!
