If you wanted a funnel cake right now, would you know where to get one? Here are your options: Pay 50 bucks to get into Six Flags or wait for the circus to come to town. Here’s a million dollar idea. Data’s Funnel Cakes! Funnel cakes on every street corner!
Now here’s a thousand dollar idea:
“Doughboy” is a real life dark comedy about a quirky young man chasing his late father’s “American Dream”: To make funnel cakes as easily accessible as the American hot dog. The young man, Felix, is a long time (self-proclaimed #1) fan of Data from The Goonies and is an inventor, much like his trench coat-wearing role model. Felix’s father unfortunately died in a mysterious freak accident while making his funnel cake dream come true. An unexplained news photo of a burnt crisp sits on the kitchen counter to memorialize him. Now Felix feels a divine calling to continue his father’s dreeam. He designs and builds a suit to make funnel cakes mobile. The new business is an instant success, making him a local celebrity nicknamed “The Doughboy”. It’s a million dollar idea and it seems it may really be coming true until he is confronted by a militant activist group protesting the name of his business: Data’s Funnel Cakes.
