"Endlessly fun with an amazingly original concept, this script easily transitions from straightforward
comedy to a suspenseful read that’s careful to remain light-hearted. The characters are unique yet
relatable, and the relationship between the protagonist and his documentarian grows naturally
as her instincts about him change alongside the audience’s."  TRACKING BOARD SCRIPT CONTEST

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.
