Bashful A Web Series
Bashful is a lighthearted, funny, in-your-face, and smart web series set in Memphis, TN. It is centered around the character of Sebastian “Bash” Carruthers. The title is a play on words with his nickname Bash, as in, he is “full of himself”. Bash is unlucky in love, life, and relationships. He has a doting mother who ran his multiracial father off with her religious zealotry long before Sebastian was cognizant. Sebastian is pro-gay, pro-black, and anti-religious. He does not hate other races he just aligns with the part of his heritage that has been oppressed and taught to internalize self-hatred. He believes that sex, sexuality, particularly being gay, is inextricably a part of who we are.
The show full of stories that are relatable and true-to-life involving Sebastian’s two good friends Dentyne, the tall, charismatic tough guy who is bereft when it comes to relationships. Then Tre, who is a small in stature, and very diminutive as it relates to men and religion. This trio will embark on a mission to find themselves and to help one another do so along the way as they meet the overreactive Earl, a seminal character, and his outspoken friends Seneca and Rashad.
