Project Type: PSA

Project Creator: Tyra Clark

Project Description:

Logline:
Two distressed high school students with different lives from the same school share a painful impact when Opioids are introduced.

Description:
Style: POV docunarrative

Idea:
1. How do drugs effect/impact the people and situations around it
2. What are the consequences/results of the impact

Deep-Dive:
We're focusing on youth (6th - 12th graders) drug awareness and preventative messages through their personal stories. The drug of focus with this PSA | Short Film is Opioids (we incorporate Codeine as well as it is also an Opioid).

The PSA is considered a short film because it will be longer than a min, but we will have diff edited shorter versions.

Character Breakdown:

(1) 15 - 19 year old male person of color
Good kid, low-income background. He's on a mission to make good grades in school, but his family needs money to keep the lights on. He's book smart, but not street smart. He's good at figuring things out quickly and wears his heart on his sleeve.

(2) 15 - 19 year old female people of color
Both girls are best friends (like sisters), one usually encourages the other to do better, the other is usually making sure they do what they're supposed to do. Even though they complement each other, they desire different things out of life deep down, which draws a wedge between them.

(2) 15 - 19 year old male people of color
Two teenage low-income drug-dealers who fell behind in school and decided to apply themselves to something that yields short term rewards. The good kid grew up with these guys and they know each other's families, but they went on different paths. All they see or care about these days are ways to cut corners and ways to make money (jaded/survival mode).
