LOGLINE:
A female documentary-maker follows a geeky young man who has been trying to convince people for years that a mysterious, hairy creature lives in his local woods. As she films him, things get weird and it appears the man could be telling the truth after all.
THE PREMISE:
'HAIRYMAN' is a comedy shot in the style of a documentary.
Up-and-coming director KATE PARKER is making a film about an eccentric young man in South London (DAN) who for the last two years has been trying to convince people that there is a mysterious, hairy creature living in his local woods: A creature he calls Hairyman. The problem is no-one believes him.
As Kate follows Dan on his hapless quest to persuade the world of the creature's existence - only to see him fail comically at every turn - she uncovers an increasingly strange conspiracy and is forced to ask: "Could Dan be telling the truth after all?"
Blending humour with supernatural/mystery elements, 'HAIRYMAN' could be described as 'SPINAL TAP meets PARANORMAL ACTIVITY'. It is aimed at a similar 16-40 yr old audience to films such as 'SHAUN OF THE DEAD' and 'WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS'.
'HAIRYMAN' is now looking for a producer.
THE CAST
The role of Kate is to be played by Gemma Whelan (GAME OF THRONES, THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD, UPSTART CROW)
