This month’s big news is that I’m going to be pitching (live! on stage!) alongside co-writer Svitlana Topor and producer Lamar Hawkins of MYGOSH.co at Conecta Fiction & Entertainment in Cuena Spain.
Danny Boy Patches It Up! is a road trip comedy series that I suppose came out of spending too much time daydreaming about riding long distances on bikes. A musically-talented idiot cycles 4000km across Europe to try to win back a girl. I first informally pitched it to Lamar at a tapas bar during Conecta 2024 because it felt like he’d get it. He did, and so here we are. This pitch will be the first time a Swiss-produced project has been selected to pitch at Conecta.
Lamar tells me we’re one of 30 projects selected from a pool of 438 applicants across 39 countries, so this feels like an auspicious start to the show’s journey.
The pitch is on the 17th June.
