Comedy-drama pilot - 2 ND creatives just trying to make a living accidentally end up in the world of espionage.
Logline: When Emma pretends to be Will’s agent, Will accidentally convinces an intelligence operative he’s an actual spy, but both’s success as ‘agents’ might be about to put them in real danger as they unmask a conspiracy.
Writer-director Mark Bowsher states: "As an award-winning filmmaker with over 10 years' experience, I'm looking to move away from corporate to narrative (my 3 Best Short winners were all narrative), using this scene to help get a fully funded series. I'm very keen to put together a crew that will work on the full series."
A senior US intelligence operative. Completely deadpan and unnervingly calm. Like Ron from Parks and Rec but a little more severe. This role can be a lot of fun but it really is less is more. He's unreadable morally - we can't tell whether he's doing his duty for the CIA to protect, no matter what the cost, or if he's out for himself. The truth is that he's a bit of a rogue agent but this should be difficult to discern from this scene - being unreadable is key for Drake.
