About
Television Series
WIC 300 is a comedic drama television series about the lives of Los Angeles children’s social workers and others in child advocacy who use humor get through the day. A proof-of-concept project was completed as a web series pilot in January 2022 and won multiple awards on the festival circuit. It is now being shopped by its creators, Robert Moon & Shay Leigh, for a home on a network or streaming service.
The title references California’s Welfare and Institutions Code §300, the group of statutes that dictates the circumstances when children fall under the jurisdiction of the court, often through abuse, neglect, and exploitation. WIC 300 delves into the passion, joy, and heartbreak of child advocacy as it unfolds in a local branch of the largest child protective services agency in the United States.
The material is something that has never been done before on US television. While there have been plenty of shows about police officers, firefighters, and other male-dominated civil service jobs, WIC 300 aims to celebrate a female-dominated one: social workers.
