Investment Proposal: Funding for the Next Episodes of 'Tenants'
Watch Episode One here:
Director: John Moore
We are seeking an investment of $20,000 to finance the production of the next four episodes of 'Tenants', a dark comedy series currently available on YouTube. The first episode introduces the central characters—Sam, David, and Samantha—who initially share the same building as tenants. When Samantha moves in and begins a relationship with David, Sam’s insecurities surface, prompting him to interfere with their relationship. His manipulative actions are driven by a desperate need to maintain his connection with David, setting the foundation for the escalating tension.
Expansion of the Storyline: Episodes 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The upcoming episodes will intensify the story’s conflict and complexity. Sam, disillusioned by his materialistic pursuits, reignites his narcissistic tendencies when he learns that David and Samantha are facing financial difficulties. Exploiting the situation, Sam becomes their landlord, heightening the power dynamics between them. As David struggles to provide for Samantha and their newborn child, his frustration and resentment toward Sam grow, leading to a darker and more volatile character arc. Meanwhile, Sam continues to abuse his position of power, deepening the conflict and driving the characters toward further moral and emotional entanglement. These episodes will explore themes of control, obsession, and betrayal, all delivered with the dark comedic tone that defines the series.
