Dead Set at Comeback
Synopsis/Details:
Dead Set at Comeback
“He´s dead, but tell that to his ego”
It sucks being dead. Tommy Steele had it all, and now he's but a ghost of himself. Literally. For a while, he was the hottest star of Hollywood, and it seemed he could do no wrong.
Most people feel the dead should stay on their own side. Tommy won't hear of it, he is determined to make a comeback.
This is the pilot, series bible available on request.

The Writer: Ville Nummenpää
I'm a screenwriter and a novelist. Four official credits on IMDB (There should be a few more, don't know how it works?). I have one 12-ep. TV-series to my name, three stage plays, five books (three for kids, two for grown-ups), and various stints here and there. Episode here, a few sketches there, short movies and short stories, audioplay, etc. I do a lot of comedy, cause I over-compensate for not being funny. But why stop there? I also want to do horror, action, science fiction... in one word, entertainment. I live in Finland, I'm sure everyone is familiar with the town of Riihimäki? Always happy to connect with like-minded, passionate story tellers, of which there are plenty here. Go to bio
