A half-hour live-action sci-fi space comedy

Set in the year 2556, this is the story of the ongoing adventures of BEN, an android accountant and reluctant corporate stooge, and his existential crisis / quest aboard THE STARSHIP INFINITY to find a soul and become something more than a robotic corporate stooge, something… human.

We will recreate the inspiring feel and texture of early space serials like Buck Rogers, or Plan 9 From Outer Space or even the Star Wars rubber-mask / robot with a mop on its head style cheapo aliens using a combination of modern VFX and old-school practical special effects that give these cultural touchstones that magical, real-world, lived-in, dangerous, nostalgic, feeling.

Most importantly, we’ll assemble a fun, diverse, lovable cast of humans (and non-humans) who we can imbue with deep inner lives. Meaning. Purpose. Souls. Even the ship itself has its own devastating emotional star-crossed lovers storyline — but I’ll save that for later!

This show will be profound. But also fun. Smart. But also very stupid. Like… smart stupid though. Stupid intentionally. Everyone making it (including you) will be very smart!

I still think there can someday be a home for the show, but space is so saturated within the television marketplace right now, and to sell a space show that’s very expensive to produce and NOT based in IP feels like an uphill battle to a lot of producers.
