We officially began our screenwriting journey in the summer of 2016 when we submitted a treatment to The Industry Insider TV Pilot Contest organized by The Writers Store. It’s a cinematic crime thriller that The Black List’s readers have called “taut” and “compelling” with a “strong premise evokes the procedural fluency and mystical atmosphere of the first season of True Detective… a project that could find a home with premium cable or streaming networks.”Īlthough this is our first script, the idea for the show had been gestating for several years.

Within days, they were back in capes, wielding duct tape swords in epic war films.“A strong premise that evokes the procedural fluency and mystical atmosphere of the first season of True Detective… a project that could find a home with Premium Cable or Streaming Networks.” – reader, The Black List Humble Beginningsįor the past two years, my partner Erica Velis and I have been working on an hour-long dramatic TV pilot that tackles racism, Islamophobia, the rise of the the alt-right and explores the spiritual condition of the American psyche in the age of Trump. This hiccup didn't stop Scott from paying his siblings with the forbidden fruits of ice-cold sodas. Alas, the agreement was shredded by one of Scott's more perceptive older brothers. Scott also proved his business savvy at a young age when he wrote up a contract for his two little brothers to star in his films in perpetuity… Their payment? Two dollars. Scott eventually parlayed his love of cinema into hundreds of shorts and 'screen tests' featuring the talents of his other eight siblings… yes, you read that right… eight… NINE TOTAL if you include Scott.

Scott's love of film started at the young age of three when he saw Errol Flynn's 'Adventures of Robin Hood.' (I swear documentation of this exists in the 1993 Jeschke Christmas letter). In a climate of cynicism and uncertainty, Scott aims to bring fun, heart, adventure, and truth back to the silver screen through high concept and genre filmmaking. Scott's latest screenplay is a feature-length dark comedy thriller called 'A Bloody Affair,' which currently ranks as a Quarterfinalist in the 2019 Screencraft Comedy Contest. 'The Rings of Ashaar' also landed on Coverfly's Red List for One - Hour Fantasy Pilots.

Scott's current scripts include a TV Pilot called 'The Rings of Ashaar,' which placed as a Finalist in the Stage 32 Annual TV Writing Contest and a Quarter Finalist in the Final Draft: Big Break Screenwriting Competition. Recently Scott wrote and directed a short thriller called 'It Happened on Orchard Street' which featured on iO9 - Gizmodo, Horror Asylum and The 7th Matrix, as well as a short comedy called 'Fight Night' which landed on Film Shortage. Scott currently directs professional-level short films and has written numerous features and pilots. Scott Jeschke is a Los Angeles based writer-director who has produced and directed top of the line marketing and internal videos for major tech and government-affiliated companies such as Centauri, Raytheon, ScienceLogic, and Densify, where he honed his skills of working in a fast paced environment, balancing the feedback of multiple executives and always putting the client's needs first.
