Script ideas being thrashed around

Originator Working Title Script idea Notes
Pascoe ? A man is injected with deadly poison and has only hours to live. In this damaged state, he stumbles across the EMF festival and soon formulates a delirious plan to make himself part-machine and thereby save his own life I'm mostly just imagining James stumbling around the festival, accosting people and attempting to eat circuit-boards and the like.
James ?

My thought was to do something local, since I read recently that there were neolithic artifacts found near Milton Keynes. A tattooed Stone age man has somewhow been put into a kind of suspended animation (a la Lindow Man--but..ummm....better...) around the time of Stonehenge's construction--he awakes at the festival and has to work out where he is, finally exchanging his neolithic jewellry trinkets for the "magic" circuit board / other techno goodies. One of the goodies he gets zaps him back home to the bronze age at the end.

Pascoe with extra bodyshock by Alia Tent Man pascoe: A tent is sad because it constantly gets taken to festivals,

but never gets to go to the events. One day, its owner forgets how to pack it up and does it all wrong, accidentally twisting and folding it into the shape of a human man. The tent seizes this opportunity to spend a day exploring the festival. Happiness ensues.

*Bonus points* The humans put

the tent up at the start of the festival in timelapse, leave the tent alone which vibrates and shudders to eventually give birth to a 'tent man' avatar who can wander the festival on its behalf

Alia ? An alien wanders around EMF chatting to the attendees and going

to all the events, writing the experience up as an article for a galactic travel blog

Bugs Proof of Concept Follow an attendee character around EMF, visiting the more eye-catching

installations/demos/etc and surreptitiously taking stuff from each person visited (a circuit board, a weird-looking component, a chunk of machined metal...). Eventually pointed looks and comments make it clear that this is pre-arranged, just very much under the table. We also see that EMF is being watched from a distance by a bland, professional-looking type.

Later that night, the attendee has gone far from the crowds and assembled the components into some weird-looking device. The professional enters and, threatens attendee with an odd-looking weapon, looks over the device and is impressed that the design is more elegant than others the professional has seen.

The attendee insists that that they wasn't going to abuse it, and only wanted to know 'if it was possible'. The professional is unmoved, pulls out a couple of components, makes a final adjustment, powers the device up and starts walking away. The attendee peers at the device to see what was done, realises, starts to lunge away, then the attendee and the device blink out of existence.
