Site19 Burger King

[ + ] Plans

Proposal manager: passionate, a determinator who is immune to ridicule, has somewhat… unorthodox methods. But a real genius and a visionary. Character arc — underdog story.

Themes:
(1) society behind the veil
(2) homesickness
(3) balance — a nuanced look at the foundation, an organisation that is cold and detached, but still made up of human beings with room for kindness.
(4) the burger king as a symbol for normalcy

Components:
- proposal documents
- emails
- videos that were secretly recorded
- disciplinary write up for recording secret vids lol

Outline:
(1) proposal
(2) rejection
(3) appeals
(4) emails with site director
(5) interviews with site staff
(6) approval message/conclusion, closing scene (recording)

Dear Director Moose and Ms. Out,

Unsure if my recent proposal re: the implementation of an on-site Burger King at Site-19 has made it to you, as I haven’t yet heard back. Have attached an additional copy for the proposal for your reference.

Kind Regards,
Junior Researcher Wendy Burgess

Dear Researcher Burgess —

The director has denied your proposal. Respectfully, if you have time to draft proposals such as this one, then perhaps you should consider taking on some more strenuous duties.
Regards,
Irina N. Out
Personal Assistant to Director Tilda Moose

Wendy,

There’s a proposal for an on-site Burger King pinned to the break room notice board. Did you really write that? Is this some kind of prank? Or maybe a side-effect of cognitohazard exposure? You're not even in the memetics department.
Best wishes,
Junior Researcher Don McRonald
