BAD IDEA presents PRINTOMORTIS, Episode Three

Here’s episode three of PRINTOMORTIS, our drama micro-series following life at an independent magazine in the dying days of print. 

If you missed episode two, BAD IDEA magazine editors Daniel and Jack faced up to a crunched advertising market by brainstorming new moneymaking ideas. These included a digital agency for the sons and daughters of celebrities, ‘artsex.org’, and an application for grant funding to create a “kabuki theatre for the disabled.”

In episode three, Daniel goes to pitch a website business idea to the managers of Trustedplaces.com, and gauge the chances of securing funding from venture capitalists. Afterwards, Jack and Daniel meet book publisher Malcolm Croft as they look to convince him their proposal is worthy of a big advance. They have less than six weeks to save their business – could this be their moment of redemption?
