Jimmy Two-Shoes: long-lost pilot episode - here at last!
This is it! The long-lost Jimmy Two-Shoes pilot that never aired and has only been an industry rumour until now.
While you're here, please check out the book trailer for my newest project, an upcoming novel (and hopefully live-action television series too!) called Our Little Secret. I would love to hear your thoughts!

I wrote this pilot episode when Sean Scott and I were trying to find a broadcaster. My friend and colleague Ira Levy, who was the producer, managed to raise the funds for us to do a seven-minute demo (semantical note: "pilot" and "demo" are synonymous. There are pilot episodes that air, but there are many that do not. You can pick the word you like the most).
In my view, this was the purest and best episode of Jimmy TwoShoes ever made. I got to write it as my dream show. Not a word of what I wrote was cut. Those who have seen it agree that this was the strongest, funniest episode, before meddling censors and second-guessing executives dumbed it down and watered it down.
It was circulated only within the animation and broadcast industries as a proof of concept to land us a television deal.
I still don't know who sent it to me. A DVD arrived literally on my doorstep with no note or address. Somebody obviously just felt I should have it. They were probably afraid that there would be legal liabilities for sharing it, since everyone who had a copy had to sign a legal document saying they would not distribute it. Hence the anonymity. I however never had to sign any such document since I was never officially given one. So here it is!
And now, at last, the long-lost pilot/demo has finally taken the elevator up from Miseryville into daylight. I hope you enjoy it and would love to hear your comments.
The book trailers are for a high school mystery novel that is being released in April 2026 by Cormorant Books. The premise surrounds three high school seniors who are forced to murder a sociopathic teacher who is out to destroy their lives. Kind of Dexter meets One of Us Is Lying with an emphasis on the "Dexter" part of the equation.
HINT: There is a little bit of Helloise in almost everything I write, lol.
The trailers are part of the research for a thesis project I'm doing for my Master's degree over the next couple of months. All of the Our Little Secret trailers are the same. What I'm curious to find out is which thumbnail attracted your attention the most. Feel free to leave comments and share with your friends.
Many thanks!
