My Green Ghost
Pitch for Short Series
This project stems from my passion for the climate action movement and my relationship with food. The choices we make every day have a lasting effect on the global climate crisis we are facing. Adopting a plant-based diet could change the trajectory of the climate crisis in more ways than one. However, making a new change in life is scary and daunting. This short series talks about an apprehension about adopting veganism. Instead of taking sides, we want the audience to join us in questioning its worth.
“My green ghost” is a short series about Marvin and Puffy, a figment of his imagination. Puffy is Marvin’s inner voice that pokes him about his lifestyle choices, attempting to push him towards making morally right decisions. They are a comical duo and Puffy is always on the winning side of the conversation.
Characters
Marvin is a guy in his early thirties who lives with his dog Jeff. Apart from his routine occupations, he has a knack for trends, tech, and hacks. The newest obsession plaguing his mind is a greener diet. He is contemplating giving up meat altogether.
Puffy is a friendly ghost, a manifestation of Marvin’s conscience. She follows him around, through daily chores, trips around the world and inside his brain examining the multiple crazy thoughts he has! She constantly pokes him to question himself and to push him towards making mindful decisions.
