Pyramids

by Bruce Bigg

“This pilot episode of “Pyramids” follows Sue as she scams her way into another sale. The project, still in early development, looks to provide insight on the insidious nature of pyramid schemes. Often presented as some source of salvation, these schemes, in reality, leave the vast majority of those who buy into them financially crippled and with no choice but to pull others down with them.

Striking a comedic tone, the series will follow our protagonist as her conscience finally catches up with her. With disgruntled buyers demanding cash refunds and a litigious pyramid scheme company demanding she upholds her contractual responsibilities, Sue sinks further into this farcical quagmire, and begins to wonder if she will ever regain a semblance of normality.

The project is in its early development stages, and Bruce would be interested in collaborating with writers, directors, actors, producers, or people in any creative disciplines who feel they could bring something unique to this story.”
