Title: | SAM O |
Logline: | After a successful brain tumor removal takes him out of school for an entire year, a teen now takes on the “toughest” task of his life – integrating into a new school. Coping with social anxieties, trying to make new friends, and trying not to become the class loser are hard enough tasks, but factor in the fact that he may or may not be seeing the Grim Reaper everyday, and well… it’s going to be a tough year. |
Pitch: | FRESH OFF THE BOAT meets DEAD LIKE ME |
Writer: | Samuel Oh |
Genre: | Comedy | Drama | Teen |
Why to Read: | Endlessly intriguing and vibrantly original, the premise of this series can only be outdone by the writers irresistibly fresh new voice. Built around a character that is charmingly original and yet tragically familiar (for him), this pilot offers a hilarious new spin on your high school years as seen through the deadpan personality, and perhaps exceedingly vivid imagination of our lead. With a masterful mix of comedy and very real emotional beats, this hyper-original tale succeeds in balancing the creepy concepts of death, with witty dialogue, clever jokes, and a creative coming-of-age tale that will capture a youth-driven audience from all walks of life. |
