Former Village Roadshow executive Bri Hennessey and former The Conners associate producer Amanda Massetti have formed a new production shingle focused on character-centered and writer-driven stories.
Pasta & Tacos Productions — the name nodding to the founders’ Mexican-American and Italian-American backgrounds, respectively — quietly launched in 2025 but went public this week with its development slate across film and television, spanning true crime, comedy and thriller projects.
“We created P&T to champion bold, writer-driven stories and collaborate with voices we believe in,” Massetti said in a statement. “Our goal is to build a slate that balances grounded genres – be it comedy, thriller, drama or true crime – with real cultural resonance.”
That slate includes an adaptation of Seraphina Nova Glass’ 2024 novel The Vacancy in Room 10 as well as a true crime thriller inspired by the life of Australian detective Peter Seymour, who penned the 2013 book Deadly Paths: A Brutal Murder. A Cop on the Edge.
The company is additionally developing a workplace comedy situated in a radio station, Windover Radio, and Bob’s Pest Control, a series adaptation of a 2023 comedic sci-fi short story by Ryan Hyatt.
