Logline:
A baker moved from France to NYC when he was 17 to pursue his love for
baking. Inspired by his grandmother, he took her old recipes and twisted them
to make them his own. Now, he has one of the best bakeries in NYC, known for
his croissants.
Genre:
Lifestyle Documentary
Time Length:
10-12 minutes
Purpose:
I (the filmmaker) walked into Jean’s bakery one day because I heard
about these amazing croissants. Also, he has an inspiring story behind the
bakery and why he came to NYC to pursue his love for baking.
In the documentary it will discuss how he became a successful business
owner. This includes the love of baking with his grandmother that turned him
into owning his own business and being successful. We wonder why people choose
the path they choose, and what inspired them to.
Our call to action, again, is how others inspire others in finding their
dreams and knowing different paths to take. This is a simple, heart-warming
story that will touch the hearts of many. ....(adding more here when needed).
Summary:
We follow a baker as he continues to pursue his dream in NYC as a
professional baker, known for his craft. Jean only goes by his first name,
that is how famous he is.
He always baked with his grandma when he was a child, and then he
started to re-create her recipes in his teens.(this needs to be a few more
paragraphs in order to be complete)
