As he rises through the ranks, he must confront his self-doubt and the truth he’s been hiding about where he comes from. What genres does your screenplay fall under?Drama, with elements of comedy and ensemble-driven storytelling. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?It fits in a space that is currently underserved. Character-driven, mid-budget stories with a clear hook. The culinary competition world provides a built-in engine and audience familiarity, while the execution focuses on grounded, performance-driven storytelling. It is contained enough to be produced efficiently, while still offering scale through the competition setting. It also offers strong ensemble roles, which creates multiple opportunities from a casting standpoint. From a business perspective, it is the kind of film that can travel well across festivals, streaming platforms, and word-of-mouth audiences who connect with character-first storytelling. —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
