After years of hard work, I finished writing a feature film adaptation of my 2019 kids adventure book That Summer We Stole Our Permanent Records. I love the world I created in the screenplay so much (tbh I wish I could snap my fingers and update the book). It’s summer Sandlot vibes plus a dash of Goonies adventure, but, you know, if girls had been allowed to be anything other than objects for boys to ogle or rescue.
LOGLINE: After discovering a secret passage in the teachers’ lounge, an 11-year-old leads her friends on a hilarious adventure to save their school from closing during the summer of 1993.
GENRE: Family comedy
PAGES: 90
