Come up with a flashy original title idea for an upcoming SYFY documentary about the legendary artist and superstar comic book creator, Todd McFarlane.
Todd McFarlane has no equals. He is a legendary artist, a superstar creator, and a self-made entertainment mogul, with a relentless drive to disrupt the world around him - and soon, SYFY and Tongal will take you on a journey into the world of Todd McFarlane with an upcoming documentary about his incredible artistry, and his unparalleled career. Check out this article and trailer - and then, help us come up with an original title for the documentary.
Tonally, the doc is like Chef's Table, but with more of an edge. It's about artistry and style and passion, and Todd's role as an underdog and a fighter throughout his career. It plays in a creative sandbox where words like icon, disrupter, provocateur, radical could be entirely appropriate - but we want this to feel smart, clever and surprising, so don't limit yourself to that line of thinking if there's something else that you find striking and inspirational.
EXPOSURE: The documentary will be distributed on SYFY’s owned channels and digital platforms, including TV and VOD.
TARGET AUDIENCE: Genre fans, comic book fans, Todd McFarlane fans. They are all shapes, sizes, and species, and even if they skew a little male, given that Todd's career spans more than 30 years, it's a broad demographic.
TONE: Smart, fun, artistic, edgy, self-aware, provocative and thought-provoking.
