Gentle Werewolf! A comedy fantasy action horror webseries script by yours truly Ep. 7.2 (Episode 1 Linked In Post)

A new comedy series about finding yourself, friendship, love, work, and play. Also werewolves.

If someone wants to fund this production, the expected cost to shoot the entire first season is <15k SBD (at current market prices). As an executive producer, you'd get to help us craft the final product. If you'd like to see a more formal pitch, please contact me.

In a world intolerant of howling, it’s tough to be a werewolf. Tom is jobless, a massive government conspiracy is hunting him, and sometimes his friends just don’t want puppy kisses.

Episode 7.2

      INT. TOM AND COURTNEY'S APARTMENT, CONTINUED

      Tom is in the cage, Jacob and Courtney are on the couch.

                          JACOB
                What? You've been possessed before?

                          TOM
                What? No. I just got mopey.

                          COURTNEY
                He was a mess. He ate nothing but
                the frozen burritos that Jesse
                bought. He played Civilization
                constantly...

                          TOM
                Once, when I burned a burrito, I
                thought I could reload it from a
                saved game and play it again to not
                burn the burrito.

                          JACOB
                That's a serious break from
                reality, dude.

                          COURTNEY
                Says the guy who believes in spirit
                possession.

      Jacob stares at her. Courtney realizes her foot is in her
      mouth.

                          TOM
                I promise not to try to reload my
                life from an earlier save point.

      Jacob turns back to Tom.

                          JACOB
                As long as you're gentle with the
                spirit, Tom. It doesn't seem like
                it's hurting you. All of life
                co-exists. Think of it as a
                negotiation, not a war. It's there
                because you were open to it. Maybe
                you needed it.

                          COURTNEY
                     (softly, to Jacob)
                I didn't mean it like that.

                          JACOB
                Right now, let's deal with Tom's
                spirit-animal.

      Courtney doesn't want to pour fuel on the fire, and sits
      back. Tom rattle-tests the cage. It looks pretty flimsy, but
      he seems reassured.

                          TOM
                She was the love of my life for six
                months...

                          COURTNEY
                But there were other people who
                loved you. Who still do love you.
                Why did you fixate on her?

                          TOM
                Because in the beginning, she made
                me feel special.

      We see the hurt on Courtney's face and that Jacob sees that
      hurt. Tom whines and his eyes go out of focus.

      EXT. DESERT

      Tom stands in the hot sun. It beats down on his face as he
      squints up at it. We see the emptiness of the desert around
      him. We hear the growl of a wolf. Tom looks down and sees
      the wolf. The wolf snarls.

      The wolf sees Tom standing, naked and alone. Tom falls to
      all fours. Tom put his face low and his butt in the air in
      the play position. The wolf bounds forward and sniffs Tom's
      butt. Tom sniffs its butt. The wolf licks Tom's face.

      INT. COURTNEY AND TOM'S APARTMENT

      Tom is on all fours in his cage. His beard is bushier than
      before. We see a slight movement in his beard that would
      correspond to an invisible dog licking him there. His arms
      are hairier, and his fingernails are longer. It's subtle
      enough that Courtney could miss it, but the audience should
      notice. He looks around.

                          COURTNEY
                Tom?

      Tom pants happily.

                          JACOB
                Tom?

      Tom tries to roll over onto his back, but the cage is too
      small. Courtney approaches the cage, and holds out her hand.
      Tom licks it through the bars. He stops. He looks up.

                          TOM
                You don't mind that I lick your
                hand, do you?

                          COURTNEY
                Um...

      Tom's beard, arms, and hands are back to their usual
      hairiness. The camera catches this as he opens the cage.

                          TOM
                I feel good. I want bacon. The
                wolf-spirit wants bacon.
