Oh Coco Produce this Show-Show

A few days ago I posted the bare bones plot of my upcoming web series “The Fource”, which I am writing and playing in. Since then I have gotten a decent amount of support and kind words via twitter (twitter.com/tommyhancock). Apparently I have comments here also but I can’t get to them for some reason. But, alas, that is not why I am posting here, to complain that my comments are, to quote Freddie Prinze Jr., “Busy wiggin’.”

Today I met up with Spencer Keizer and Zach Fearless, who play Denis and Avery Pheter in “The Fource” respectively. The point of this meeting was to outline a basic plot to an episode and get specific ideas on paper that I would then turn into the first draft of script over the weekend, which went well. Another point was to do some research on how a web series is defined as a success or a flop, which also went very well. We haven’t begun filming yet and I am seriously already learning so much through research and the number of people willing to give me pointers so far. We also found another recurring character and the person to play her and honestly it is a character of which I have never come across before in a series, web or television.

Once we finished what was on the agenda for the day and then some, we did what any self-respecting web series cast/crew would do; more research. More research in this case means ordered pizza and watched The Guild and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. As this was happening, and we were marveling in Joss Wheadons musical web (instant)classic, something came to Spencer’s mind, and he decided to point it out to us, along with challenging me personally for some reason.

“You know who I think would love the humor of our show?” spencer asked. “Conan, we should get him to produce The Fource.” He added in, jokingly.

“Hells yes!” I replied. “I should just call him up and be like, ‘ ‘Ey Conesie, wanna produce my web  show? Seems like something that would be right up your alley, and hey, you’re not busy at the moment!”

Keep in mind I added that in as a joke. Conan is and always has been my favorite pop culture icon. I seriously look up to this guy so much and respect how popular he has become over the last 17+ years without a gimmick. I won’t keep going on about how much I love Conan, for this blog will become a book. I will get back to the point after adding  in that I thought about it after saying it and thought, “it does sound like something Conan might like, I wish this were possible.”

Spencer came back at me with a, “You should try to contact him man, stop being a little bitch about it.”

“Maybe I will!” I said.

“If you can get a meeting with Conan to pitch the series I’ll wear a thong in an episode of the first season.”

And with that, I accepted. Now I am on a mission to contact Conan O’brien and/or his people asap! I admit I don’t exactly know how to go about doing this so any help would be grand A few episodes are done being written, we can film those as a demo for a pitch. Personally I want a producer to be someone who could put a hand in creatively and not try to take over, sounds like Cone-dogg to me!

Oh Conan, how the heavens shine upon thee!

Finally I ask, to anyone that reads this, send this blog to everyone you know, tell them to do the same. Retweet this if you follow me on twitter and get word out that I want to meet with Conan to pitch a series to him. Personally I think Conan would make a great producer in television and film. Let me and my first web series be his guinea pig!

To anyone who reads this  that knows how to get a step closer to contacting Conan my twitter is http://www.twitter.com/tommyhancock or you can email me at tommyhancock23@gmail.com

Thanks a lot folks, help a man and his dream meet in the skies of Conan!!

Some News on My Series The Fource (plot)

If you have ever talked to me over this lovely spectrum called the “internet” then surely I have mentioned to you that I am writing and will play a main character in a web series. Up until this point however I have guarded almost all aspects of the show like it was my unborn baby boy and/or girl. Now we’ve made some things official and I feel comfortable sharing a bit with people who have expressed interest(or would like to). The show is still in the writing stage but is starting to move along rather quickly.

The title is, as I posted in the title of this thread, The Fource. Yes I’m aware it’s spelled incorrectly, read on! I play a character named Thomas who is, in spite of having my legal first name, very much unlike myself. He is much more critical and, truth be told, practical-thinking than I am. He is also much more socially awkward than I am, which will be freakin super to play! Thomas’ parents leave for their retirement vacation that has been very long in the making and will last 4 months. Thomas has 3 close friends who are all very different from him, Hugo, Denis, and Avery. Within hours of  Thomas’ parents leaving his friends decide to throw a party at his house without his knowing.

While Thomas is distracted Hugo, Denis, and Avery manage to start a fire in his garage which ends in the house being burned to the ground. The 4 guys must come up with a plan to rebuild the house before Thomas’ parents return from vacation. Deciding one job each person is not enough, they decide on offering any type of work for compensation and call themselves “The Fource.”

That is literally all I can share at the moment but there is much more in store once filming starts. We’re talking to potential guest stars who I also can’t say until they are confirmed, but they’re awesome I can say that!

Honestly I am beyond excited to get this on the inter-web as soon as possible. It will be a little bit still because the sheer amount of work that goes into making a quality web series, but I am getting tips from some unbelievable places and, as I said, so far running smoothly.

Thank you for reading this buddies, feel free to share thoughts as I love my posts to end up being conversations. Also any questions I’ll answer if they won’t lead to me being murdered by a fellow cast member. Hugs.
