Dana immediately got to
work after winning an internship from the Television Academy and was placed on
CBS’s The District where she started
as a production assistant and quickly moved up to be a researcher for the
writing staff. When the show was
canceled the following year, she went to work assisting the writers for ABC’s Desperate Housewives for three seasons,
then on CBS’s CSI:NY for another
three seasons. She’s now a producer of
docudramas for Discovery and in the midst of pitching her own docudramas to
multiple production companies. Jessica
landed a job as an accounting clerk for a production company that made
commercials and music videos, then moved over to NBC’s The Biggest Loser, where she worked for three seasons in both
accounting and casting. After a move to
Shine America (MasterChef, The Bridge,
Gracepoint), she settled into a (so far) seven year accounting gig handling
their TV projects in development.
During their ten years
in Los Angeles, Dana and Jessica worked on their ‘library’ of scripts,
including original pilots, short films, and specs (a script for a current show
containing original story ideas – a type of fan fiction – which helps
illustrate a TV writer’s talents and capabilities to potential agents and
producers). The last script Dana and
Jessica wrote together was an original pilot about a turn-of-the-last-century
American circus family trying to get back in the game after a devastating
fire. Dana and Jessica never managed to
shop it around town because Jessica (who is handicapped by an overactive
imagination) had a terrifying dream about living underground after an
apocalypse, hiding from gangs roaming the surface, and a strange doctor-type
(handsome) guy who seemed to have all of the answers.
