Toying with My Heart
A TV Christmas Rom-Com
A cynical corporate consultant returns home to save her sick grandpa and his toy store, but when a charming toymaker steals her heart, she starts believing that both Christmas magic and love are very much real.
The Pitch Package
I created this story as part of my TV Writing class at Toronto Film School. We covered the traditional structure for TV Movies, or MOWs, and the goal was to create are own stories fit for the genre.
As a fan of Christmas movies for many years, I decided to write my own -- except with a lot more representation.
There's a growing demand for LGBTQ+ Rom-Coms, and with broadcasters shifting their content goals to meet their audience's demands, I pitched Toying with My Heart to the Hallmark Channel (my prof Dave pretending to be Hallmark). Check out the pitch package below for a preview of the story, characters, and why this is the perfect time to produce a film like Toying with My Heart.
