About
Pilot Proof is a development studio for short form scripted content. We create shows, partner with production companies to shoot them, release them online, and take the strongest to networks and streamers.
Every step is filled with talent on the verge of breaking through: showrunning, writing, directing, acting and editing. Baseball has the minor leagues. Hollywood used to have one too. We're the minor league it needs now.
We assemble a writers' room from script samples and break a full season.
A production partner shoots it with a full crew.
The season premieres on YouTube, where an audience can find it.
The shows that break through go to networks and streamers.
Broad City went from YouTube to Comedy Central. High Maintenance went from Vimeo to HBO. Issa Rae's Awkward Black Girl led to Insecure. In 2024 Netflix picked up Tires, a self-financed comedy that started as a YouTube pilot.
We're not a school or a class, a networking event or a membership, or a crew for hire. We never charge talent to take part.
