Mercuryboy Inc’s entry for RTE’s Storyland

Storyland, RTE’s competition to find a new online drama series, is entering its second year and Mercuryboy Inc have teamed up with writer Emma Cahill to create ‘The Junior’.

The submission is a satirical look at the ad industry through the eyes of a junior copywriter. Shane and Joel have been in the industry 11 months and are desperately trying to make a name for themselves before their first year review. Shane, the copywriter and main character, is neurotic and self-loathing and hates his team mate Joel. The show will monitor Shane’s consistent self-sabotage and crumbling personal life.
