On this particular Friday, they’re determined to create some new memories involving drugs, alcohol and boys, so they buy a bag of weed and crash the popular kids’ party. My screenplay, Those Girls, chronicles one day in the life of two overachieving girls on the verge of graduation, who realize that their high school memories consist entirely of homework, extracurriculars, and college applications. “I’m not going to spoil the ending but you can see it in 2017.”
They decide to put their minds to getting boyfriends by prom and “hilarity ensues,” says Haskins, adding that it just might be inspired by real life. It’s called Book Smart, and chronicles the two overachieving girls who realize in the middle of their senior year of high school that they don’t have boyfriends and haven’t had enough fun. She recently sold a screenplay with her writing partner, a friend from college. She might be Internet famous, but now Haskins is hoping to branch out. Sarah Haskins sold a screenplay with essentially the same logline as my spec script.
