About the Project

DS Birch Carlson is a comedic crime procedural set in the charming town of Northfield, Minnesota. The first episode premiered to a public audience on June 14, 2024. At this event, we will read the next episode, where DS Birch Carlson and reluctant partner Davis investigate a murder at a local factory. As the body count starts to rise, Birch needs to work fast to find answers before a reporter spreads sensation to earn clicks.

I invite you to read more about the process of creating the first full-length independent television pilot through a series of articles.
