Jazz Cow is an animated Sitcom about a jazz-playing cow who reluctantly leads a group of artists, poets, and misfits in resisting Big Tech guru Dr. Popp, a paternalistic dictator, who is getting the world hooked on algorithms, junk food, AI, and fake filters for a more efficient world.
Behind the laughs, this series asks the urgent question: Can we reclaim our creativity in a tech-ruled world?
The Time for Jazz Cow is now.
“Constant notifications, pinging phones, texts, snaps; be your individual self by selecting one of these fake filters. Give in to the algorithm. Get the app.”
There must be a way out of this modern mess, right? RIGHT?
Take the path of least resistance…
… or join Jazz Cow, his band, and the regulars at his club, Connie Snots. These are the holdouts and they’re not going down without a fight.
The Threat
Dr Popp wants to get his hand on the artisanal bakers, street vendors, fringe theatre and second bookshops. He wants to monetise and franchise, and get rid of the old guys playing chess in that tiny park. (Don’t they know there’s an app for that?)
This melting pot of misfits, musicians, poets, and free thinkers isn’t giving away their slice of town in a hurry. They look to their figurehead, cult hero, and the leader of the band: Jazz Cow. Think Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca.
