Week #1 Show Teaser

Synopsis

Life in their small, Pacific Northwestern town is pretty easy for siblings Hank and Loretta Skaggs (30s). Sure their parents were killed in a tragic and mysterious accident when they were teens, but the resulting insurance money they received allowed both to live comfortably for all of their adult lives. Until now.

As their nest egg dwindles, and with few skills and even fewer smarts, the siblings risk descending into poverty. Then the video happens. Soon they inadvertently find themselves at the centre of the elusive Bigfoot debate. After recognizing the attractive, monetary potential of deception, Hank and Loretta set out to pull off the world’s next great hoax.

Team

Derek Norn

Producer, Editor

My very first filmmaking experience was working as a a grip on the set of the "Apollo 11 Mission". I got to control the fan that was blowing the flag! After that I was hooked on the magic of making movies. To date I have produced, edited and occasionally acted in many independent shorts and was also an uncredited consultant on the movie Apollo 13.

Nolan Lewis

Writer, Marketing / Social

Six years ago I stopped eating meat, and was thus banished from my home on the conservative Albertan plains to live amongst my hippie brethren on the West Coast. While there, I studied Screenwriting. Since graduating, I have celebrated many successes as a writer, though none more dear than my critically acclaim blog of erotic Juggalo fan fiction, The Gathering of Desire.

Cary McKnight

Writer, Director

Ever since I can remember I have always been creating my own absurd and imaginative stories and films. My biggest break to date has been selling a WWII screenplay called "The Big List" for $50 to a kid in my elementary school. Little did I know, it was eventually optioned, sans credit to me:( I continue to write and make films. Currently developing, "Weekend at Bernie's 3"

Let's get away from the host, and see the action. I'd love to see this as a sort of "Life of Frauds", where the narrator is not seen, but heard while hidden cameras capture various idiots running scams and small-time crimes, but failing miserably.

Not much thought went into the writing, very bland, not humorous.
