MOTIVATED! (Director, Executive Story Editor)
Set in the world of a downtrodden talk show radio station in Rochester, New York, two dueling on-air motivational hosts will do anything to best each other in ratings so their show will get bought by a national (perhaps even global) radio network. Misty Carlisle (Janelle James), known as the Hunter, and Candance Wonder (Nia Vardalos), known as the Warrior, have very different personalities but a very similar method of giving advice. Hungry for their big break, Misty and Candance will stop at nothing to get what they want - whether that’s romance or a national audience. Filled with a wacky ensemble cast, this series is about two women finding their power and possibly even their ability to do good. The bad things they do to get there will soon be forgotten. Except by each other.
