Our
lives are made of stories told over countless cups of coffee, broadcast
and projected onto screens, passed hand-to-hand on the printed page,
and whispered in bed. We all eagerly listen to the stories of others
and relish telling our own. In their simplicity and grandeur, humor and
drama, stories occupy the very heart of what it means to be human.
As a writing team, we create imaginative, character-based
stories for television and film —stories
that get people talking, true stories that reflect the complexities
of individual lives and imagined stories that mine essential
elements of our shared humanity.
As industry professionals, we understand that it's hard
to write good drama, harder still to write good comedy, and it's
hardest of all to write a drama with comedy, which it what life
is, after all.

We
take our name from a poem titled “Say Yes Quickly” by
Jelaluddin Rumi, the great Sufi mystic who lived in the
thirteenth century. The poem affirms that it’s possible
to enrich the lives of “people you don’t know
and have never seen,” and we like, too, how these
three words communicate a sense of the forward momentum
that is essential to meeting the challenges of the creative
life—a dynamic one in which “no” is
a hurdle, “maybe” is limbo, and “yes” is
always good news. And we love to say yes quickly ourselves
when we’re entertained, moved, or impassioned by
the creative work of others.
We’re
based in Los Angeles and work wherever in the world our television,
film projects take us. We can be reached by telephone at 818.861.7590
