Individual Presentation or Panel Title
Howell and Lake
Abstract
She’s a police detective, and he’s a private investigator, but they have the same goal: to solve a string of impossible museum robberies. The catch? He’s also a wizard, and she has absolutely no idea that magic exists. Through security footage, cell phone videos, and a couple of magic floating cameras, the webseries screenplay “Howell and Lake” tells the story of Detective Diana Howell and supernatural P.I. Tristan Lake. In 30 one- to 10-minute episodes, this script chronicles their romantic entanglements, encounters with flying Chinese food, and attempts to unravel the mystery of their city’s elusive art thief. In writing this screenplay, I hope to build a universe that I can one day expand upon, producing a fully fledged, multi season series on YouTube. I’m also trying to tell a story that normalizes female and queer characters as well as characters of color, a story in which their presence is not token.
