People before plot.
What do they want? What are they hiding? What would they never do, until they do?
Writers & creators / Film & television
Human stories.Unexpectedpossibilities.
Two voices. A shared instinct for story.
Original film and television, with humor,
heart, and a different point of view.
01 The partnership
Two perspectives.
A little friction.
A better story.
We’re Gil Cunha and Demetri A. Pappas. Together, we’re G/D Story Lab: a creative partnership developing original stories for film and television.
We’re drawn to the humor, tension, and contradictions that make people interesting. Two perspectives at the same table, finding the story together.

02 The way we work
It starts with
someone.
Humor with a pulse.
The funny in the uncomfortable. The heart in the absurd. The moment laughter becomes recognition.
Keep asking “what if?”
Follow the possibility. Challenge the easy answer. Rewrite until it feels true.
03 A conversation is a beginning
Something
in mind?
For creative conversations, professional inquiries, and opportunities to collaborate.
