LOGLINE FOR “POPCORN PURVEYOR”
A passionate movie theater employee aspires to land her dream job, but is pushed to make a bold choice between standing up for herself or following the rules.
BECKY (LEAD): Woman, 23-30, All Ethnicities
A dedicated concession stand attendant who dreams of one day becoming the “Popcorn Purveyor” and doling out buckets of salty goodness to moviegoers. Under Graham’s management, she must shoulder all the most tedious tasks at the theatre, from restocking TP to taking out the trash. Becky is pushed to exhaustion and finds herself contemplating questionable means to break free.
GRAHAM (LEAD): Man, 30-40, All Ethnicities

A lazy concession stand manager who’s a little too cool for school and leaves us wondering why he’s manager at all. He loves his job at the theatre and loves being in charge, but doesn’t want to break a sweat… ever. He currently holds the coveted position of “Popcorn Purveyor” and is annoyingly oblivious to how he dumps all the difficult tasks on his co-worker Becky.
