BOY: A STORY BASED ON TRUE EVENTS

Clearly the only problem with this one is: I haven't seen Precious.


Log line:

What if everything you knew about Autism, race, conventionality, and homosexuality were lies? What if the very truth that was suppose to set you free drove you insane? BOY: A Story Base On True Events.

genres: coming-of-age, supernatural, psycho-drama

Script Synopsis:

Boy is the story of three very different men who share a commonality... That they actually are separate pieces of the same mind. As the three men talk the truth of the situation is revealed uncovering layers of a single split personality.

Despite the premise this is actually a coming-of-age story with a dark almost supernatural twist. The revelation made at the end of the story ties all factors together into a neat package for the audience to understand without losing or betraying the controversial nature of the script. Think Precious and What's Eating Gilbert Grape meets Big Fish.

Bio:

I am a filmmaker who started off as an actor and then a screenwriter. Upon the death of my brother who was mentally challenged I wrote a novella based on some of our life experiences. The script is very different from the self-published novella yet stays true to the darkness and wonder of some of the concepts presented in the novella. I currently have a viral page of short films and webisodes. If you want to see how my writing translates to the screen this is a very good place to start. All my short films were written by me.

Thank you so much for all your good energy and consideration of this script. All links and contact info is below.

Thank you again,
