Vertical Format Drama Searching For Talent
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. The company is seeking talent for Vertical Format Drama "Bow Down, Brats! Your Great Grandmother Speaks!". See the details below. About the project: After a tragic lab explosion in the 1960s, renowned physicist Evelyn sacrifices herself to save her young son, Jonathan. But instead of death, she awakens 70 years later—reincarnated into the body of a teenage girl with the same name, Evelyn Carter. Now in a tech-obsessed modern world, Evelyn finds herself at a lavish Silicon Valley gala, thrust into a hostile stepfamily, and immediately targeted by her cruel stepsister, Sophie. Yet Evelyn, armed with the wisdom and fierceness of her past life, refuses to be intimidated. As Evelyn navigates this new reality, she discovers that Jonathan—now the powerful yet ailing patriarch of the elite Miller family—is still alive. Shocked to find her beloved son suffering, she desperately attempts to reach him and protect his legacy. Her bold behavior, uncanny knowledge of the family’s secrets, and intense maternal connection spark suspicion and outrage, especially from Leon, Jonathan’s skeptical grandson, and his conniving fiancée, Lilian. Evelyn’s reincarnation creates waves through the Miller family as she challenges power structures, disciplines her spoiled great-grandchildren, and slowly regains Jonathan’s trust and recognition. Her modern teenage exterior clashes with her authoritative old-soul personality, creating comedic and dramatic confrontations—especially with Jason, her rebellious great-grandson and classmate. As Evelyn continues her mission to protect Jonathan and restore integrity to the Miller family, she must battle deceit, intergenerational chaos, and a society that dismisses her identity. But with sharp wit, unshakeable resolve, and a deep maternal love, she commands the respect of a family that has lost its way—and proves that even in a new body, a great grandmother’s voice cannot be silenced.
