So this is a trailer for Pleasant Pastures, an ‘independent TV pilot’ made by Amy K Green and Blair Skinner who say they met while working on Oliver Stone’s Savages and decided they wanted to make a TV show. As you do.
Let me know what you think – would you like to see this on tele?
When July Mallard’s dream job falls through, she’s forced to take on a gig as Associate Director of Pleasant Pastures Retirement Home. The gang of brash elderly residents and her staff of misfits combine for an experience that is anything but a dream come true.
It’s a thumbs down from me and seeing as it’s an ‘independent TV pilot’, it has almost zero chance of actually appearing on TV, but there’s a Facebook page if you like it.
