Nitty Gritty
Logline: Ratta & Coco have escaped to Monkey Island only to find out...They are not alone. Wata Dog, Tatu, Sea Cat, Patoo and Musmus have all gone there to create a new world free from DE CONSUMERS and COLONIZERS. All was well until the domesticated animals Jerk di Fowl and Curry di Ram Goat also sought refuge. Mayhem ensuses.
Synopsis of Storyline: Ratta & Coco along with the rest of the endangered species of the Caribbean have taken refuge under the magical world of Monkey Island. Far from (well a few hundred feet by boat) any humans. Their day to day escapades revolve around preserving the habitat and keeping it free from their domesticated and fattened enemies. The world created for Ratta & Coco will evolve in an open format.
Concept Art of Characters: The Ratta & Coco Show will be holding an open competition for character design. We will not take unregistered submissions. Our determinations are final. Get ready
Each Caribbean Animal will be paired with talent. We seek to attract dancers, singers and comedians/comediannes from the Caribbean to bring the characters to life. We will be designing a 3D live action set for a 10 episode series using Unity. We intend to commence filming in October in Jamaica or Trinidad. After post production and evalution we will be seeking a long term 360 media deal from a major US based entertainment company
Brief Description of a few episodes:
A New Day - Ratta & Coco cannot decide whether to venture off the island or stay put. Something lurks in the distance, they just cant see what it is.
Coco learns to Drive - Coco gets a push cart license and seeks to learn to drive. Ratta is ready to teach except no one knows he's never driven either
Will You Buy It? - Ratta decides their world needs commerce and lots of it. Chaos ensues over property rights and vending permits. Meanwhile Coco discovers new skills as a door to door salesperson. Before you know it Ratta has no inventory.
360 Marketing Strategy: Our marketing strategy centers around using non-fungible tokens as the base for providing long term value to artists involved in the project. What we are seeking is to develop a platform to compensate artists over the long term for their involvement in the show.
It is our intent to attract world class entertainers from the Caribbean diaspora in the fields of Reggae, Reggaeton, Pop, Soul, Dance and Theater to bring the characters alive and to allow for longevity and popularity and quick adoption.
We intend to cross market the characters in merchandising,comics, books, trading cards, music, museums, stage plays, digital formats (emerging crypto).
We intend to engage governments in the Caribbean in long term plans to have branded entertainment facilities like eco-friendly children's museums, water parks and tourist attractions throughout the caribbean - taking special emphasis on the preservation of the local indigeous ecology. We intend to partner with NGO's and Caribbean Conservation Partners to limit our carbon and garbage contributions and keep Caribbean beaches clean. A major portion of our profits will be dedicated to this cause.
