OhGee! Series Teaser

Logline: 

In the suburban late 2000’s London a myriad of mysteries untold lie buried underground. Oggie, a 12-year-old boy, gets intoxicated on the mercury residue found in said time capsule full of riddles and treasure maps. But, when his 40 reality vision drops to 0, the once shiny enchanted forest takes on a more sinister role.

Synopsis:

In truth, those artefacts Oggie found are full of nothing but your usual crummy old 3rd floor neighbor’s biography. In the eyes of impressionable children though, those items void of remaining purpose are magical. There’s a certain excitement he feels when chasing even the dead ends, but it’s apparent that there’s another potent reason as to why he feels this way…

In this series, we explore the influence old folk has over children; how something worn down and ancient can be seen as exciting and new to someone who doesn’t know any better. We present this sentiment in a VERY literal and blunt way, using mercury and its lingering effects to symbolize the lingering pieces of history that the tides of time fail to erase. In contrast we also explore the contrary of this, portraying Shelby and Connor as the indifferent, unaffected duo who choose to participate in this wild goose chase purely for their own mischievous enjoyment; making it their mission to prove Oggie that this dream like fantasies he is pursuing are in fact, not real.
