BIG SISTER
Feature Screenplay
Boggi's Bento
Children's Animated TV Pilot
Seven-year-old Bogwai “Boggi” Chau can commune with the dead—that’s right, Boggi talks to ghosts, but only when he cooks and shares the meals they prepared when they were alive. He knows this because he can see his ancestors dining with him every night at the family restaurant. As Boggi learns of people from the past, he seeks out their family recipes so he can pass along their messages of laughter, longing, amends, and courage.
