I have worked on several variations of this over the years. Initially, I wanted to shoot it as a small budget, live-action pilot with a few friends. Given the scope of the idea and my limited resources, as well as dwindling number of friends, I decided to work on other, less ambitious projects. For now, this is just the first draft of something that I enjoyed writing. This version was written as a half hour, animated comedy pilot.
This is the script for Episode 1 of a podcast project that I am working on. Initially, when I began writing this script, I was determined to ignore whether or not it was “funny”, and focus on finishing. Doing so allowed me to get through the first draft without much incident, but the second draft did have its challenges. I still feel that the ending isn’t as strong as it could be, but I also have to move on to episode 2.
These stories will be loosely, mostly thematically, connected, so the eventual audioplay could be listened to as a random anthology of parts, or as a serialized whole.
