Project Synopsis
Fred, a socially anxious recluse, is content to keep the world outside, until Spooky, the ghost haunting his home, reveals that he’s fading away from lack of hauntings. But to scare people, there have to be people, and Fred will have to invite them in. With Spooky possessing him for moral (and physical) support, Fred stumbles his way through hosting his first-ever dinner party, complete with neighbor Malcolm, longtime crush Izzie, and a climactic supernatural spectacle. As Fred learns to open up and Spooky rediscovers his ghostly flair, this heartfelt comedy explores an unlikely friendship between the living and the dead.

Self Tapes due March 23, 2025

Character 1
Fred
Age
30-50
Gender
Male
Description
Fred is a socially anxious recluse for whom stepping outside feels like a life-or-death situation. His overthinking keeps him isolated, though he craves connection. With a ghost push (sometimes literally), he faces his fears head-on, awkward social interactions and silly walks included, whenever Spooky takes control of his body
Character 2
Spooky
Age
30-50
Gender
Open
Description
Spooky is a carefree slacker of a ghost who would rather crack jokes than face his own fading existence. Despite his laid-back attitude, he’s desperate to stay in the land of the living, even if it means coaching his friend Fred through his deepest fears.
Character 3
Lizzie
Age
30-50
Gender
Female
Description
Cool-headed and independent, Izzie is unfazed by the supernatural but touched by Fred’s effort to finally step out of his comfort zone. She doesn’t need saving or seek to be impressed. She values honesty and courage above all so Fred might stand a chance.
Character 4
Malcom
Age
30-50
Gender
Male
Description
Malcolm is an overeager, well-meaning neighbor who’s just a little too interested in Fred’s dinner party and for good (or bad) reasons. Beneath his friendly demeanor, he’s plotting to steal an old and rare object from Fred’s house. Unaware of Spooky’s presence, he’s in for a shock when the ghost sends him running for his life.
