"School Boyz" teaser clip

In this scene, Aaron is hatching a scheme for this year's mega-prank on school staff. A quick flashback leads to cameo appearances made by some of James M. Hill's finest... ("the School Boyz" trailer is coming..)

Here is the original pitch for the story (although some of it may have changed a bit):

Three main characters, all teenagers, have their lives documented and recorded by a team of cameras that is never acknowledged, but a constant theme. The show breaks the fourth wall constantly, and the small town high school setting is a continuous vessel of hilarity. Schoolboyz would be filmed like a reality show, but with all the events and dialogue scripted. Each episode would follow the characters lives in high school. It would be filmed in a 'shoulder camera', fashion with private interview sequences filmed in a private place (such as the bathrooms). There would be a central theme for each episode but no real solution or moral to give the watcher something to learn from. It's like watching real life. Only funnier.

"I'd Rather Be Dead" - Video Clip

In this scene, Krunk has his first run-in with a door - read the pitch below for more details. Comments are encouraged!

Here is the original pitch for the story:

"I'd Rather Be Dead" is a sitcom idea based on a teenage boy who struggles to fit in at a new high school. Things are complicated because of the fact that he is a zombie. Krunk is a normal teenage boy hidden under layers of rotting flesh and an uncontrollable craving for brains. He has the I.Q of a turnip and like other teenagers struggles to fit in. He doesn't get the concept of doors, bowls, windows, or manners. But he can slowly learn with each passing day. Krunk's mother and father are like any other married couple. The mother cooks, cleans, and cares for her family and still is able to do all this with her career as a bio chemists. The father (also a zombie) stumbles around destroying the house in the search for brains. Each episode will explore different high school situations and how a zombie would deal with them. Staring with opening the front doors to get into the school. Krunk's mother is always preventing chaos and the death of their cat at the hands of krunk and his father. Krunk will constantly try to fit in different groups at school. Jocks, preps, nerds, you will see how he tries and fails. But also meets goods friends along the way, and maybe even love...

This is the first available clip of a full 10 minute pilot episode shot and developed by story creators: Nathan, John B., Brandon L., Kelsey R., and Jeff H.

Group #9 "Glossy Cover"

Here is the pitch for Marley C-M, and Melissa W.'s story idea:

Set in the city, our sitcom deals with the relationships between four co-workers with extremely diverse personalities. While fighting to reach the top of their seemingly towering career ladder at one of the most prestige publishing companies in Canada, our main characters have to deal with relationships, meeting deadlines, a completely unreasonable boss, as well as their own friendships with each other. With three girls and a guy, our fast-paced show will be filed with estrogen, energy, excitement, and light to large shots of drama...
