The Killer's Quadrant

The rationale for this project is to combat typical roles given to violent women in TV and film. Women who kill often give up far more of themselves and the hope of a normal life than men in the same roles. I hope to accomplish this by outlining and writing a one-hour TV pilot script that showcases a violent, un-nurturing female character shifting into a reluctant caregiver for selfish purposes. As the season progresses, her motivations for keeping her young charge alive and her outlook on the bleak world around her will change.
