Bad Foodie: Part One
Synopsis/Details:
The year is 2000, and D-List celebrity Guidry Cloche has one last chance to make it to the big time. Competition among other TV foodies is fierce, but after a decade spent slugging it out with fellow culinary luminaries, he is finally ready for his closeup. That is, if he can make it through filming the pilot episode of his new cable show. With a rookie producer and an inexperienced crew, he faces a daunting gastronomic challenge and learns that old dogs really CAN learn new tricks. Using flashbacks, our misanthropic antihero regales his team with bawdy tales of a career in the food-show biz. An unabashed love letter to Anthony Bourdain, BAD FOODIE honors his legacy of celebrating the shared humanity of strangers through food, and embracing the capacity for growth, empathy, and understanding. It's also profane, subversive, and just plain funny.

The Writer: Timothy Shireman
There are some who call me Tim. A pre-WGA scribe who hails from a far-off, desolate wasteland known as New Jersey. After two decades in Atlanta, my Philly roots are now sunk deep in the Georgia clay. Having spent the last 15 years as a graphic designer and production artist, I decided to try something completely different & took up screenwriting. Making the creative jump has been a challenging yet rewarding transition. With a renewed sense of artistic freedom, I've dedicated myself to learning the craft of storytelling. A true genre fanatic, I was raised by the Horror section of Blockbuster. My cinematic pedigree & irreverent sense of humor give my work a unique sensibility. I hope... Go to bio
