Pitch Sale: “Untitled Geoff LaTulippe Project”

From Deadline:

Writer Geoff LaTulippe just closed his first directing job at Paramount. LaTulippe, who scripted Going the Distance and Breathers, will write and direct an untitled comedy ensemble based on his pitch at Paramount. What makes this particularly interesting for Deadline is that his studio shot came about after Par Film Group president Adam Goodman saw on Deadline a short that LaTulippe’s made for WME’s all-company retreat in which Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s J.B. Smoove took over the agency on Yom Kippur. That got the aspiring director a meeting, where the studio bought his pitch and set him to direct. Dawn Olmstead and Marti Noxon are producing the project. LaTulippe is WME-repped.

Here is the video:

Congratulations, Geoff!
