So… Oscar has officially decided that the best way to get It Happens in Florida funded is to head straight to Los Angeles. Yep. Hollywood. Land of palm trees, overpriced avocado toast, and people who think a “medium coffee” is a personality type.

Oscar’s logic was simple:

“If we’re making a Florida TV series, then the only logical place to find money is the city that thinks everyone in Florida actually lives inside a theme park.”

Armed with nothing but a suitcase full of sunscreen, three pairs of jorts, and a pitch deck he printed at Office Depot (the Naples one, not the fancy California kind), Oscar boarded a plane and took his talents west.

Step One: Find an Agent

Oscar’s first stop was an “exclusive” coffee shop where every other customer was apparently writing the “next big Netflix show.” He figured if he loudly mentioned “alligator wrestling meets true crime documentary” enough times, someone would slide him a business card. Instead, he got three confused looks and one guy asking if he could Venmo Oscar $5 for his latte.

Step Two: Pitch the Executives

Oscar marched right up to a studio gate, told the guard he had “the next Tiger King but with more humidity,” and somehow convinced them to let him inside (Florida confidence is a superpower). Once inside, he gave an impromptu pitch involving sock puppets, a plastic flamingo, and a surprisingly convincing reenactment of a Florida HOA meeting. Rumor has it, two executives are still laughing. Another is in therapy.

Step Three: Make Friends in High Places

They say networking is everything in Hollywood, so Oscar went where all the deals happen: a taco truck line. By the time he reached the front, he had pitched the show to six aspiring actors, one confused tourist from Iowa, and a dog named Biscuit. He considers this a success.

Step Four: Bring Florida to LA

Not content with waiting, Oscar staged his own “Florida-style investor mixer.” He rented a kiddie pool, filled it with Publix sweet tea, invited strangers off Sunset Boulevard, and started handing out gator-shaped business cards. LAPD shut it down after 47 minutes, which, honestly, is longer than anyone expected.

The Outcome

Did Oscar come back with millions in funding? Not exactly. Did he come back with sunburn, a screenplay written entirely on cocktail napkins, and a contact in Hollywood named “DJ Reptile”? Absolutely.

So while the money may not be rolling in yet, Oscar has put It Happens in Florida firmly on the Hollywood map—right between “Fast & Furious: Retirement Edition” and “Sharknado 12.”

Stay tuned. Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s this: if it can happen anywhere… it can happen in Florida.
