A LITTLE BAD
By Nate Miller

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

A timid, environmentally conscious, employee kidnaps his narcissistic boss who is framing him for the illegal sale of toxic chemicals.

SYNOPSIS:

Art Walker is a timid executive who loves the environment. Unfortunately for Art, he works for a Russian company with one of the worst eco-records in the world. When Art finds out his narcissistic, idiotic, boss Tye Smith is framing him for illegal sales of a toxic chemical, he seeks help from his friend and co-worker Phil.

Phil tells Art he can upload a program that will erase all of the transactions and clear his name; unfortunately, in order to do so Art will need to keep Tye out the office for sixty days.

After a night of hard thinking and drinking, Art decides his only choice is to kidnap Tye and seeks the help of Phil and Benny. Benny is a brilliant engineer with a couple of small quirks. In addition to being a bondage enthusiast, Benny has the small delusion that the Matrix is real.

With the help of some Tasers, and Benny's homemade chloroform, the three bumble their way through the kidnapping and take over the company. After speaking with Rachel, a beautiful eco-activist who Art has a crush on, Art decides that it is time his company goes from eco-loser to eco-leader.

Art and the boys embark on a mission to take their company green. They enact numerous environmentally friendly changes that have a positive impact not only the environment but also the company's bottom line.

Things are going well until a ruthless general named Jung Jung shows up at the office demanding to know where his shipment of toxic chemicals is. With the help of a big box of bandages, Phil poses as Tye and manages to convince the ruthless dictator that his shipment is secure.

But Tye has no intentions of letting his early retirement plans disappear and manages to escape from his cell with Benny in pursuit. While Tye escapes, Art is informed that the company's founder and CEO, a Mafioso Russian billionaire named Nikolai, has made a surprise trip to the office.

After eluding a chase from Matrix Benny and his scooter the "NEB1", stealing a little girl's lemonade sales, and insulting an old lady on the bus, Tye finally reaches Nikolai only to get another big shock. In addition to his accounts being cleaned out, Tye is on his way to a two year assignment in Russia.

With a new found wealth the boys form an investment company focused on environmentally friendly products. Art and Rachel get married and do what any young couple would do, move their zodiac between a Russian whaling ship and a pod of whales.

I'm already laughing a little - imagining Kevin Hart in this role. Maybe we can work together someday.

Nate Miller

Thanks Deborah. I think Kevin Hart would be great in it (The man could make an instructional video on plumbing funny). I am open to partnering on projects. Let’s keep in touch and let me know what you have in mind.

My cousin and I are working on a Comedy that has the potential to bridge gaps and make us all laugh hysterically. It involves neighbors - families are Asian, Black, Indian and White - and their crazy supporting cast family members. The kids - teenagers (GenX, Millennials etc.) are the glue that holds them all together. There is a twist - we can discuss if you're interested.

Nate Miller

Sounds interesting and you have me curious about the twist. I sent you an email

Deborah Champagne

Got it! I responded! Thanks!
