"Miss Poppy" Pitch Bible

Transcript

2. After a tragic 70th birthday epiphany, Poppy, a timid and sheltered woman, goes on a road trip adventure to see her favorite jazz band perform live for their last time. On her journey she meets various whimsical people along the way who inspire her to live life with vigor, heart, and lots of laughter. But did she wait too long to live out the life she always wish she could?
3. Poppy is a soft-spoken 70 year old home-body. She has severe social anx- iety, and is most happiest playing her saxophone along with jazz records.
4. Ex-celebrity singer gone rogue (and daresay irrelevant), Dahlia is now wandering the roads on a soul searching adventure. Spon- taneous, bold, and a bit dramatic, she helps Poppy get out of her shell.
5. It’s Poppy’s 70th birthday, and she has nev- er felt more alone. With no phone calls and zero friends, at least she has her music to keep her company during her humble cele- bration. As she’s listening to her favorite jazz station a rare opportunity presents itself, but will she be brave enough to take it?
6. After hearing news that her favorite jazz band is playing their final show in LA, Poppy decides to live a little and go see them! She gets ready for her great adventure, the only thing is, she hasn’t traveled in quite some time. Her home is her safe space that she feels unequipped to leave.
7. Poppy is on the road with meek driving skills due to her time cooped up at home. She starts to gradually enjoy the drive down with her music playing, gently inspiring her to ac- celerate speed. Unfortunately, she ends up with a flat tire and a deflated sense of hope along the way. As she has her mental break- down, she meets Dahlia, a mysterious older woman, hitch-hiking along the road.
