GHEE-LORD: THE ANIMATED SERIES

Added 2022-06-05 11:34:21 +0000 UTC

Hello, everyone. I was looking for something for the Writer's Club peeps... and came across a file that I thought I'd share with all of you upper tiers, as it has a Found Footage connection.

I'd love to do a brand new Found Footage... heck, I'm desperate to... but I'm not sure the appetite is there to crowd-fund one. Hence me trying to sneak FF-y bits and bobs into Digi instead.

So... basically, a couple of years back I pitched Found Footage to Adult Swim. Amazingly, they came back to me and said they'd really enjoyed it... but that they were looking for narrative shows and animations, rather than sketch shows. They invited me to pitch something along those lines, and this is what I came up with.

I sent it off and LITERALLY the next week... Adult Swim pretty much fired the entire commissioning team I'd been speaking to, and announced that they were cutting back on original projects (this is why there's no new Tim and Eric stuff on AS). Timing is everything, and mine sucked in this case.

But anyway... this is a glimpse into what could've been: a full Ghee-Lord animated series!

If you want more of these glimpses into other projects and my day job, sign up for the £10 Writer's Club, where you'll have access to scripts, my commentary on my work, and podcast eps where Sanja and I delve deep into the realities of working as a screenwriter.

Pitch document attached. Enjoy!
