“I'm humbled by the talent and generosity of this amazing cast.
Under the most limiting of conditions - an unrehearsed, cold-read of an original pilot via computer - they breathed life into characters and the journey of this story.
I will forever be grateful.”

BABIES AT FORTY an unrehearsed drama pilot/cold-read on steroids.
After years of on again / off again ( think several seasons worth on some other series ), Emily and Mitch finally elope. But the realities of taking too long come crashing down when they find themselves pregnant at forty-something.Told through iconic 90’s music - PM Dawn, Lauren Hill, Arrested Development, Chumbawamba, LL Cool J, Crowded House, Britney, etc - this series is the soundtrack of the overworked and unheard youth of forty-something America.
