COMMISSION FROM SCRIPT TO SCREEN ONLINE GREEN REVIEW
STORY PREMISE
A Burglar realizes he is actually dead and tries to
get around the concept of burgling without having a body.
STORY LOGLINE
A Burglar gets into a house easily but is horrified to
discover he is dead when he cant actually pick anything up. Realizing he can possess objects though, he decides to be a poltergeist and tries to possess some fireworks, only for them to go out of control and blow up.
STORY STEP OUTLINE
The Burglar marvels at how easy breaking into an
empty house is, and tries to take various possessions from a room but always goes through them. In his tantrum, he falls through the floor into a room where a box of fireworks are kept. Testing his ability to float through things, he discovers he can move things by floating through and possessing them. Since the fireworks are the most desirable thing in the room to him, he possesses them to move around, but they become out of control and soars out the window, exploding.
