Man of the House Pitch Board

I was commissioned to create the above pitch board for use as a visual aid when pitching Man of the House, a multi-camera hybrid family comedy.

Inspired by the life of writer and creator, Frank Pines, the show revolves around two recently divorced sisters who decide to move in together to raise their kids under one roof. The oldest kid and only son is left to figure out what manhood means in a world where he’s now completely surrounded by women.

The board uses pictures of Frank’s real family to provide context to executives and further illustrate the theme of the show. While simple, the design was effective.

After multiple offers, ABC developed a pilot of Man of the House, which was produced by ABC Studios, actress Kerry Washington’s Simpson Street, and former Fox and Paramount executive Gail Berman’s Jackal Group. The pilot featured Alyson Hannigan and Leslie Bibb, with Jimmy Kimmel as the narrator.
