DAVID KATZ
TV WRITER
Why do I write? It’s fun! I like to express ideas and imagine the possibilities, the “what if” factor. Certainly, I want to entertain so that the viewers are engaged in the story, the characters, and the outcome. And ideally, I would like my writing to make a meaningful difference in the world by being inspiring and thought-provoking.

PITCH DECKS
With the country in chaos and political turmoil, Charlie, a humanoid robot, decides to run for president. This political satire makes fun of both parties, artificial intelligence, sex, and “the American way.”
Danny, a father, Tommy, his son, Doris, a mother, and Jenny, her daughter, each living alone in isolation during the pandemic, are trying to work out their angst and conflicting parent-child relationships when spirits visit them to intercede in this dramedy.
After a long battle, Charlie the Robot is now President of the United States. However, both he and the country are going through hell. He is depressed and needs to build up his self-esteem, so he decides to see a government therapist. She is female, human, and attractive. Can romantic love develop between them?
This series follows the sex lives of five couples. One member of each couple has wealth, power and influence that could be very beneficial during this time of climate change. Seven spirits decide to convince the less dominant member of each couple to withhold sex until the other changes their stand on environmental policies. The spirits are present at the couples’ meetings in each episode, attempting to wield influence.
The world is suffering terribly as the COVID-19 pandemic spreads. Albert, a doctor and biological virus researcher, feels compelled to create his own vaccine in order to help rescue humanity as quickly as possible from this modern-day plague.
