BiggsFaith.exe
TV PILOT SCREENPLAY
Bongo Jack Hooper)
synopsis
When the world’s most advanced AI app—the holy, Holly Grail—accidentally fuses with the frontal quadrant of a young gangster’s cor-textual lobe, it spawns a reluctant superhero, Rhythm Biggs, who’d rather wrong everything that’s right than obey the app’s divine mission to save the world.
BiggsFaith.exe is a half-hour animated comedy pilot that fuses live-action absurdity with animated prophecy. It follows Rhythm Biggs; a mythically flawed young gangster whose psyche becomes the battleground for Holly—a glitching AI app with divine ambitions. As Holly projects visions, illusions, and emotional mandates, Rhythm resists every heroic impulse, triggering a cosmic turf war between institutional fraud and reluctant salvation.
Pursuing him is Mudge, a corporate behemoth commissioned to retrieve Holly—by any means necessary. During the chase, he’s trapped in the underground jungle of the New York City sewer system, barely making it out alive. Now he’s back, determined to track Biggs down and rip Holly from his head.
The pilot unfolds in a surreal urban landscape where digital prophecy collides with sewer mythology, and every “POOF” vision conjured by Holly threatens to rewrite Rhythm’s reality.
ANIMATION NOTE: All animals appearing in the script—including but not limited to squirrels, crocodiles, jackals, chickens, tomcats, one howling coyote, and one zaftig horse—are to be animated. Additionally, all of Holly’s “POOF” sequences (including holographic projections and conjured illusions) are to be animated or VFX-enhanced, depending on production needs. All other elements are intended for live action unless otherwise specified.
