Hi all! I’m new to the subreddit, and I consider myself a big hip hop nerd. But before that, I’m a film lover, and a screenwriter. As COVID and the quarantine commenced, I found myself in the midst of a Madlib fad, and quickly found myself INFATUATED with both Piñata and Bandana, the efforts of Madlib and Freddie Gibbs. To make a long story short, my film-wired brain began creating some visuals and connecting some dots with Piñata specifically, and I began working on an outline. That was a few months ago, and as of the first of the year, I can finally say I have a final product of a script. I pitched the idea in an email to Ben Lambert, management for Freddie Gibbs and have yet to hear back, so in the meantime I’ve been posting this on r/FreddieGibbs and r/Madlib as well as here in hopes of getting some traction!

My idea here is to create a bridge from the content of hip-hop music to that of the visual medium. Music videos have danced on this line for a long time, and I feel like this project offers a fantastic journey into that realm of thinking. This is an original story, inspired and revolving around the themes and story elements presented within Piñata the album. With that being said, I’ll drop the link to it below if you want to read it. I’m excited to hear what y’all think!
