Screen Worthy
True Stories
Jody McHugh is an Atlanta native and lifelong storyteller whose colorful life has brought him into contact with an unforgettable cast of characters and no shortage of remarkable experiences.
A regular storyteller at The Moth and other venues around Atlanta, Jody has built a collection of true stories filled with humor, suspense, heart, and the unexpected. He is seeking partners to bring his stories to screen.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Jody is seeking representation for a body of true, verifiable, Atlanta-connected stories with screen potential.
Each story stands alone, but together they form a larger world of real people, real records, real locations, and real consequences.
Jody is connected to all of the stories and his material would work well in a film, television, documentary, or series format.
