CSUN CTVA 442 - "Chef's Kiss" - Senior Thesis
Donation protected
Hello there :), my name is Nicole Mairose. I am a Senior at California State University Northridge and I am majoring in CTVA Television Production. I, along with my production team, are working on "Chef's Kiss" Pilot episodes that are potentially being picked up to become a television series. The project will be shot with COVID protocols in Los Angeles, CA. We are currently seeking sponsorships as well as donations in order to fund production costs as well as post production costs.
What is "Chef's Kiss"?
Chef’s Kiss is a 4 episode comedy, exploring concepts like cancel culture, machismo and forgiveness. Our main star Pan is a top tier chef, dripping with good looks and talent. Unfortunately, he is also a man, and a misogynistic one at that. Tammy, a promising young woman, is stuck as his personal assistant. With COVID sending everyone back home, Pan is now doing cooking lives online, at home until Season 3 of Pan’s Kitchen is approved. Everything gets upended when Pan’s machismo is outed on air and the internet cancels him. Now his show is on the chopping board, Pan’s Kitchen will not return if he can’t find a way to redeem himself. Tammy gets dragged into the mess when she has to help him, despite him being the epitome of everything she is against.
