Let’s think about starting this thing… we got 6 writers. That leads us to 18 pages, more or less. Perfect for a pilot episode!
I had this visual concept for a show about solitude, virtual human links and the power of décentralisation, influenced by Silicon Valley probably in the humorous tone.
The visual concept was that the main character would connect to different online communities throughout the show, this would change the look of his flat, and the people he would communicate with would be visually transported into his living room (even though he’s just on his device).
An argument on Twitter would result in the walls turning twitter blue, and people fighting in his living room, for example.
The core narrative concept was to explore solitude, human connections, corruption and décentralisation.
We could write a pilot mainly designed to introduce the main character, its lonely outside world, his narrow online world and introduce an element that would cause the character to begin its descent into the rabbit hole.
Once that done we could collaborate on fleshing out a season structure, and setup a virtual writing room to collaborate.
