Beantown Nightlife

Logline

Two life-long best friends discover love, happiness and their selves on their final night as high school seniors in the city of Boston.

Genre: Teen, Coming Of Age, Comedy,

Synopsis

A New England comedy-drama in the vein of "Superbad" and "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist", “Beantown Nightlife” tells the story of Will & Ashley, two eighteen-year-olds on their last night as high school seniors, before graduation day. The two have been longtime platonic friends, having lived in the same apartment building their whole lives. Will is going to the University of Miami, Ashley is going to New York University. They come across various characters – eccentric people they meet or some friends they know from school, all while trying to find a way to make the most of their night before heading to their last high school party. From the city streets to the subway tunnels, and even the waterfront, Will & Ashley have a memorable night filled with moments, both funny and touching. Because, by the time the sun rises again, hearts will be broken, friendships will be forged, and secrets will be revealed. "Got any plans for the night?"

- Hey, I just read and reviewed your script. Pretty good for this genre. The only things I would change is like others said, cut out the "Cut to" they really are not necessary and also I'd say you have too many wrylies. Things like (smiling) (looking off) should really go into the action breaks. Reason is because we actors HATE those things. Also (beat) (pause) are acceptable but usually are not needed. Based on your action visuals: Jon, stares coldly at Samantha Tells the Actor playing Jon the emotion he needs and a period or action break and (CONT'D) simplifies it. The catch-don't have too many (CONT'D)s either, but they're better than wrylies and beats in my opinion as an actor. Good work. Be sure to read mine "Sunset Summer" when you get a chance.

- Hey, so this was pretty good. I enjoyed it. The only thing I would change would be to take out the "cut to's:" they aren't necessary and this is only a spec and so it doesn't need them. Good job.

- I've started reading this and i really like the way it's written. Very light hearted and easy to read. Interesting relationship between David, Will, Ava, Ash. I'll write my complete thoughts once i've read all!
