Semblance
A 5-season episodic TV series by Wade Wofford & Jake Hulse. Semblance Universe - #SemblanceUniverse
Dark Energy - undetectable to us, yet it accounts for 95% of the matter in our universe. What if there are life forms within that matter...Entities that need a way out.
LOGLINE: They have evolved parallel to us - bodiless, sentient, fighting to escape the Dark Matter that imprisons them. Now, they have found a way out...us.
PROOF OF CONCEPT: Semblance is an R-rated sci-fi drama for audiences who like Game of Thrones, Homeland, True Detective, or The Handmaid’s Tale. It is currently structured to be five seasons, with ten (one-hour) episodes per season. Spin-off stories in a variety of formats (shorts, mini-series/prequel, standalone horror feature) are also outlined. To show the viability / marketability of the series, Happy Wasteland is producing three short films, each set within the Semblance universe:
SOOT
Dir. Jake Hulse (post-production)
Two factions war for a mysterious package being brought across international borders.
PUREBRED
Dir. Wade Wofford (post-production)
A mother tortures her daughter so she can steal her body.
RAVENS & SWALLOWS
Dir. Jake Hulse (post-production)
Two spies, once partners, meet in a cafe. One may be a traitor.
Happy Wasteland is currently looking for partners to help get Semblance made. That can be in the form of more proof-of-concept shorts, or in the form of series distribution. Reach out to us to request a pitch deck.
