Story
Mission Statement
Ghost Girl has a creative team comprised of all women. The Ghost Girl series centers around the strength of a life-long female friendship. Our goal is to celebrate the spirit of this friendship both on screen and off.About The Project
Ghost Girl, Jess, died in The Mysterious Accident That No One Will Talk About (Shhh!). The only person who can still see her is her BFFL, Emma Leigh. Ghost Girl navigates the afterlife and helps Emma Leigh through the Five Stages of Grief with songs, snacks, sleepovers & more.
Ghost Girl originally premiered live on stage in New York City as five-time winner of Reckless Theatre's Fighter Pilot competition. Audiences voted to see Ghost Girl return for five consecutive months, and now they'll get to see her make the leap to the big screen!
Following the showcase stage production of Ghost Girl at Reckless Theatre on May 13th, we have launched our fundraising campaign to raise the necessary funds to film the Ghost Girl series in Summer 2017. The web series will be unique in that it incorporates crafts, music and humor in quirky and silly, while also heartfelt and meaningful ways.
The scripts that have been all staged live for audiences are Episode 1: The Halloween Sleepover, Episode 2: The Thanksgiving Turkey, Episode 3: The Xmas Special, Episode 4: Happy New Year? and Episode 5: Valentine's Day Sabotage.
The webseries script is updated and adapted for the screen. Our audiences who have seen the live episodes will recognize many of their favorite characters, including, but not limited to: Ghost Girl, her best friend Emma Leigh, Cousin Carrie, Ghost Turkey, Dirk - The Cutest Guy in Public School. In our pilot episode, we will venture to the Friend Bench, the Public School, Jess' Home, Cousin Carrie's Home and The Peaceful Hilly Cemetery. With the webseries, we plan to add more songs, dances, props and costumes to flesh out the world to tell the Ghost Girl story.
