Story Treatment

Coconut Shrimp

A middle aged woman is home in bed on a sick day. While on a conference call on her cellphone, following a presentation on her laptop, she is watching a muted cooking show where they are preparing beer battered coconut shrimp (This part is a true story).

Several weeks later, she and George will make the shrimp. We will see her shopping, and then see the couple preparing and cooking the shrimp as Nemo and Bo (cats) look on with rapt attention. All will then share in the feast. Settings include the bedroom, hall, and kitchen in a small ranch house, with additional scenes in Market Basket and Whole Foods.

Leslie -- this is a very rich description (and my stomach is rumbling already), but you may want to trim down the narrative for the purposes of this assignment. I could see this serving as the basis of a longer form narrative, for sure.

Your total final duration should be in the 1 to 2 minute range.
