Just FYI, my production company and I helped produce a new true crime podcast that recently released, called The Brothers Ortiz, of which we're also attempting to loosely adapt as a TV series. It's a pretty harrowing true story of two Texas brothers on opposite sides of the law, expertly reported by the great Sean Flynn.

As of now, in the wake of the premiere of the first episode, we're at #33 on Apple's Top Series podcasts, but would obviously love to see it go higher, and would really appreciate any listens, subscriptions, ratings, or reviews to help it rise up the charts.

Thanks, and if you do listen throughout the season, I'd love to hear your thoughts here as well!

Quote:

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothersboth successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn't know all the details of his brother's nefarious dealings, and he's made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry's murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.

I liked the part where the Mom cheated on Dad. Dad, a struggling but now sober born-again Christian, was blamed for not coming straight home after work to enjoy her company. He seemingly took it hard. Mom doesn't tell her family the sordid truth so the blame largely goes on him.

It was a ****ed up situation all around for sure, one that just kept spiraling.

Two episodes left, btw.

I know it's not your typical whodunnit true crime series - it's way more reflective and meditative - but I hope you guys are enjoying it.

For the record, the television series version we're developing, if it comes to fruition, will be more "sensationalized," for lack of a better word, "inspired by" a true story, not based on a true story. It'll use the same basic family dynamic/setup to tell a much broader, more epic family crime saga. More of a Heat-like cat-and-mouse game between two brothers on opposites sides of the law (and border, at times). Gabe understands that in order for it to be viable, the TV version will need to take liberties, involve more action, be something that can span multiple seasons, etc.

Still, the podcast is extremely compelling in its own right, and first and foremost we're so glad that Gabe and his family get to tell their story, as it actually happened.
