A Level of Cool

There aren't enough "Sports Comedies" I say.


After a childhood of being tormented by a bully who is now a major star on a sports competition show, a meek twenty-something man seeks revenge on his former nemesis by getting in better shape and beating him at his own game.

Genre: Sports Comedy

Marcus the bully has stolen every girl Ryan has ever loved -- since they were in kindergarten! And though Ryan grows up looking good, athletic and physically fit, with a good job in a law firm, he still hungers for revenge. When he spots Marcus acting as resident baddie on an American Gladiators-type TV show -- it's the chance he's been waiting for!

He assembles a mismatched group of his fit friends -- who each have their own things to prove -- and they train for the chance to help Ryan defeat Marcus once and for all. Can Ryan go the distance and save not only his manhood, but his dojo and the marriage of his best friend? Or will Marcus engineer the ultimate defeat...before the final match has even been fought?

This script is based on my own experiences with a bully from school -- and my karate training certainly helped me write some knockout fight scenes! We all know what it's like to feel that hunger for payback...and in this script I feel I've come up with a really unique take on what it means to get even.

I would love to send over "A Level Of Cool" for your consideration! Thank you for your time -- I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Sincerely,

Raef Lawson
