Logline<\/strong>:<\/u>
\n<\/b>An emotionally distant man has to battle fate working against him and his own masculinity to buy tampons for his desperate girlfriend.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
Characters:
\n<\/u><\/b>TYLER (20s) – Average dude being a dude, loves his girlfriend but doesn’t know quite how to show it without looking like a pussy, cares about what others think deeply, often tired and just desperate to sit down and have a drink
\nALLISON (20s) – Tyler’s girlfriend, pretty girl-next-door type that isn’t afraid to throw a little shit, really having a rough time as she is up a red creek without a tampon.
\nOWEN (late teens) – Little punk ass kid who thinks dressing like Eminem in 8 Mile makes him a real badass, thinks of himself as a real man
\nJASON (20s) – One of Tyler’s main bros, basically a huge dick who is certainly not compensating for having<\/i>\u00a0one, but he’ll buy rounds so people put up with it, jealous of Tyler’s dedication to his girlfriend
\nBOUNCER (30s) – mountain of a man, kind of person you may cross the street when you see because he could fuck you up, but a real secret softie
\nCASHIER (60s) – judgmental and pissy, she doesn’t have the time for some young man’s bullshit, just trying to do her job
\nPRETEEN GIRL (early teens) – just got her period recently and is trying to get some tampons, sassy and not about to deal with strangers, but also obsessed with appearance.<\/div>\n

Production Concerns: multiple locations with a convenience store near a bar, night shoot, younger character.<\/div>\n
TWO PAGES NEED TO BE CUT FOR AP SUBMISSION.<\/div>\n
Production scope might make this also suited to Thesis or AP production.<\/div>\n
