Show Room TV - concept

Fade In:

INT. ROOM - DAY
A tall Jewish 45-ish hipster narrator walks out and speaks gingerly directly to camera.

Hello and welcome to my inspired project, a unique once-in-a-lifetime show inspired by desperation and hope, inspired by evil conspiracies and radical courage, inspired by too much LSD, inspired by the 60's and 2016 Berkeley, and inspired by John Lennon, Martin Luther King Jr, Gandhi and Bernie Sanders.  And fuck it, I was inspired by Punk Rock and the stupid bullshit that passes for USA culture nowadays -- a product deliberately created with billions of corporate dollars to help us forget how we all got here.
Here's what I'm talking about:
my goal is to make a feature film, but I have no $, but thru a fluke I've gained access to a really small TV production studio at Public Access TV with 3 HD cameras, a switcher, audio mixer, and a green screen.  With a 3yr old and another kid on the way in 5 1/2 months, I gotta get busy AND I don't have much free time. Luckily, writing crazy shit is my specialty.
So, here's the concept:  SHOW ROOM -- A multi-segment show that can air on youtube & TV station in small pieces.
Each segment runs 10 mins max, or has a couple fake commercials stuck on each end. Most segments parody TV or real world, make people think outside of the box, or are art & undecipherable.  I already have quite a few ideas on various skits, but I don't want to write them here just yet -- I'd rather show them.  
Narrator turns and sidesteps -- and vanishes!

Stay tuned, true believers!
