The Plate Directive™: A Classified History of Disposable Containment

“Never stack past ten.” A bureaucratic relic becomes a global mirror as civilization discovers paper plates were psychic dampeners all along — and compostables have begun to transmit our guilt. 

The Plate Directive™ is a deadpan mockumentary series exposing how paper plates were actually psychic dampeners that stabilized humanity’s psyche for a century. Structured as a satirical conspiracy thriller with a “Ken Burns meets Kubrick” visual tone, a disgraced government analyst leaks declassified files proving the hidden theology of convenience. The series is built for streaming audiences that crave high-concept absurdity with emotional afterburn, focusing on the psychic cost of our dependence on disposability. This highly unique IP has strong cult-comedy appeal and is ready for multi-season expansion.
