Synopsis/Details
Gigi McCoy has become a has-been. Kicked off her long-running TV show, dumped by her cheating co-star husband, Douglas Winters, and harassed by paparazzi drones with zoom lenses, she’s just about ready to lose it when she witnesses the brutal death of her best friend and agent, Trudy Newman when a stage light electrocutes her at an influencer's mansion. At Trudy’s funeral, she spots Radna, a peculiar rep who works for Juvé Studios and follows her to a shopping center in Koreatown. After being temporarily trapped in a meatlocker elevator, she discovers that Hologram Juvé Studios Execs are in the basement of a Karaoke bar and are interested in signing her if she agrees to wear an app-based, high-tech device called The Cloak, which astonishingly transforms her into her headshot from 2001. In her new skin, she dominates Hollywood, her extravagant reemergence a booming success. Everyone wants her attention, including Douglas and a deranged, hooded stalker who follows her, screaming that she’ll “expire too!” Did I mention she’s also the newest superhero, Jaguar? That she’s in Geronimo 5? But all anyone really wants to know is what is Gigi’s secret? Then, her face glitches on set and is caught on camera. What happens next is like a plot from her old TV show: kidnapping, murder from twenty-four stories up, a crazy, half-demonic drum circle in Venice Beach, and a face-off with Douglas, who has gained possession of it.

The Writer: Brandi Self

Produced, Award-Winning Screenwriter I create surreal, carefully constructed stories that dissect love, morality, oppression, identity, perception, alienation, and stagnation by catapulting characters into sometimes absurdly juxtaposed worlds where they must use self-examination as a tool for escape and redemption. Influences: Ari Aster Rod Serling/Twilight Zone Charlie Kaufman David Lynch Franz Kafka Background: I guess it all began with me hanging out of the back of a moving van as I threw raw meat to an angry grizzly bear, hoping the cameraman could get the perfect shot. Yeah, I started in production, reality television to be exact. But, it wasn’t all bad, I got to party with rock stars… Go to bio
