If you were a manager pitching me, you might say something like, βPablo Goldstein writes darkly absurd comedies exploring the thin line between cynicism / optimism and the ever-shifting dynamics of fame, work, art, and identity starring characters bursting with feigned bravado and unearned confidence.β Here are some of my pilots:
πTHE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTHπ
After being wrongfully institutionalized by a suicide prevention AI, a relentlessly upbeat SoCal chiller tries to reclaim his freedom from the ludicrously dystopian grip of a tech-run psych ward.
πUPWARD SPIRALπ¬
When a narcissistic former child starβs residuals come to a sudden end, he and a fanatical Vons bag boy join forces to reclaim the lost A-list Hollywood career he feels entitled to take back by any means necessary.
BET Project CRE8 semi-finalist
ScreenCraft Pilot Launch quarter-finalist
π¨π»βπ¨CONNED ARTISTπ£
A talentless Venice Beach street artist mistaken for Banksy teams up with the woman who actually is Banksy when a bumbling eco-terrorist group seeks to hire the famous artist as their new brand manager.

π«GYM CLASS ZEROESπββοΈ
After flailing wildly at their dreams, three slackers end up at the only job suitable for their egocentric personalities and lack of real world skills: Teaching middle school P.E. in the San Fernando Valley.
