Genre: Biographical Drama / Corporate Thriller (with elements of surreal comedy/horror) OPENING SCENE: CHAOS. The
scene climaxes with the filming of the notorious "Harlem Shake" video.
The camera is shaky; the action is surreal, chaotic, and utterly
disgusting. Stevin is seeking pure, unfiltered internet fame and clicks. MONTAGE: The Grind.
Stevin watches the view counter climb, but the fame is fleeting, toxic,
and niche. He’s stuck in a creative dead-end, known only for being "the
poop guy." THE CATALYST.
Stevin visits his sister. He watches his young nephew (3) captivated by
YouTube, but the content is low-quality and frustrating. The nephew
gets angry because the videos are repetitive. Stevin has a revelation:
What if he applied his high-energy performance skills and marketing
drive to something good? THE BIRTH OF BLIPPI.
Stevin creates the character: bright orange and blue, goofy,
educational. He begins filming videos about construction trucks and
playgrounds using his own equipment, driven by purpose rather than
desperation. The early videos are crude, but the passion is real. THE ASCENSION.
Blippi takes off. The channel explodes. Stevin is working 18-hour days,
obsessively checking analytics and responding to fan mail. THE CORPORATE DEAL. Years later, Stevin is wearing a perfectly tailored suit, standing in the glass tower offices of MOONBUG ENTERTAINMENT. He sells the Blippi IP for a massive sum. The Moonbug CEO, MARTHA (50s, cool, calculating), sees dollar signs and guaranteed brand safety. MARTHA: "The IP is clean, Stevin. Utterly spotless. That’s what we buy. We guarantee to protect that innocence." THE WHISPER.
The first cracks appear. In 2019, Stevin is at a massive fan
meet-and-greet, signing autographs and smiling the perfect Blippi smile.
A PARENT whispers loudly, "Isn’t that the guy who… you know." Stevin
flinches slightly. THE RECKONING (The Buzzfeed Leak). Stevin is in a sound booth recording a cheerful song about fire trucks when his phone explodes with notifications. BUZZFEED has published a major investigative piece connecting Blippi to Steezy Grossman, detailing the "Harlem Shake" incident. THE WAR ROOM. Martha and the Moonbug team are in crisis mode. The defense is drafted: "Stupid and tasteless," and "a serious error in judgment."
Stevin records a solemn apology, emphasizing his transformation. The
brand takes a hit, but due to the sheer sincerity of the Blippi content,
the crisis is contained. Parents forgive, and the channel stabilizes.
Stevin breathes a sigh of relief—the past is buried, but never
forgotten. THE HACK.
Stevin is home, watching his own brand’s success from afar. Moonbug has
outsourced his filming to other actors, making him the silent IP
holder. Suddenly, an alarm blares. SECURITY HEADQUARTERS.
Pandemonium. The Moonbug team realizes the official Blippi YouTube
channel, the primary revenue stream, has been compromised. The hackers
bypassed two-factor authentication. On screen, where a song about the alphabet should be, the grainy, disgusting footage of the 2013 "Harlem Shake Poop" video starts playing, looped, with the caption: "THIS WAS BLIPPI IN 2013." THE FALLOUT.
Martha screams orders. The tech team races against the clock.
Meanwhile, social media erupts. Parents post frantic videos of their
children witnessing the content. STEVIN’S DESPAIR.
Stevin is rushed to the headquarters. He watches the live feed of the
chaos. He sees his two worlds—the pristine orange and blue, and the
disgusting, chaotic grime—collide in real-time. THE PARENT VOICES. A rapid-fire montage of real-life social media posts and news clips (fictionalized): A Mom on Facebook Live:
"My four-year-old just saw this! How dare they! This isn't just
tasteless, it's a security failure! My kid thought Blippi was sick!" A Pediatrician (on cable news):
"Beyond the moral outrage, this is a severe health risk. Human waste
carries serious biological dangers. The recklessness is unforgivable." THE DEFENSE STRATEGY.
Martha tells Stevin: "You will apologize for the exposure, blame the
hackers for the delivery, and blame your younger self for the content.
You are fighting for your livelihood now." THE FINAL APOLOGY.
Stevin stands alone in front of a camera setup, the bright orange of
his Blippi sweater feeling suddenly constricting. He is exhausted, his
eyes betraying years of guarded tension. He delivers the carefully
scripted lines, but then breaks away: STEVIN (as himself, tearfully):
"I understand why you ask about the bacteria. About the recklessness. I
was stupid. I was seeking fame in the most vile way possible. I will
never defend that. Blippi... Blippi is the attempt to clean up the mess I
made. My regret is constant. My life since then has been a commitment
to earning back your trust..." CLOSING SCENE. The screen cuts to black. We hear the familiar, grating, cheerful voice of Blippi singing faintly in the distance. TITLE CARD: The
Blippi brand lost 60% of its market value in the following three weeks.
Stevin John was temporarily replaced by a new actor to test market
reaction. The case against the hackers remains ongoing. FINAL SHOT: A child's face, staring blankly at a blank screen, the sound of the cheerful Blippi song now tainted and hollow.The Orange Veil
