ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Christopher Kerr

Bio: Born: c.1801, Scotland - found on a church doorstep, wrapped in the new Union Flag which he dubiously claims to have "mocked up that morning".

Age: 42. Having invented both the bicycle and the time-machine by age 15, Mr Kerr subsequently fell victim to a terrible accident upon removing the training wheels; stranding him in Australia, c.2005... Mysteriously aging nearly a decade in the process! Both Mr Kerr and top government scientists are at a loss to explain the missing 10 years.

Nationality: British, Australian, Pyrate.

Still an enthusiastic cyclist, now returned to the UK, Mr Kerr currently skippers the waterways of South-East England. He is accompanied in this endeavour by First-mate Mindi-Schnauzer, and Master-at-arms / heir apparent, Toovey-The-Wonder-dog.
In order to finance this floating fiefdom - maintenance, dogfood, tyres, hyphens, commas, requisite rum - Mr Kerr can typically be found bobbing between Film Post-production jobs, script-analysis assignments, or manual labouring. In his 15+ years Technology and Production capacities in Post, Mr Kerr has worked on a string of award-winning features; many of which could have benefited creatively from smaller budgets and stronger scripts.

2017 saw a determined effort to break away from Post, into screenwriting proper - to realise some of his own ideas. This has led to a few awards on the Festival scene, as well as some progress towards self-producing a couple of short animated films, and a one-shot comic.

All AUTHOR'S PITCH DISCUSSIONS UPDATES

Author's Pitch

Help this story become visualized!

A short satirical take on the polarised / fanaticism / echo-chamber culture we find ourselves in today... with the humour taking any potentially sour edge off, so it remains 'accessible' to all audiences.

The minimal dialogue serves to augment the story's global appeal, with the plot also subtly acting to highlight the ongoing, international, plight of the bumblebee.
