I was a working screenwriter in Hollywood. I now live in northern Michigan where my emphasis has shifted to novels.
I have a completed script that has not been shopped around, entitled Making The Grade.
It's about a super star high school quarterback that is rendered a paraplegic in the biggest game of the year. While recuperating, the school nerd whom he used to pick on is assigned to be his tutor. Unwilling to take orders from his tutor, the tutor's sister gives it a try.
The fallen athlete and the sister of course begin to fall in love with each other. As the athlete softens, the nerd and his sister convince the athlete to get involved in wheelchair racing.
If you want to find out the ending you can read the script. It's a good piece, but I will acknowledge that if you are at SCAD, you might want something more edgy as well as something that provides greater potential to "show off" design oriented concepts - not that this piece is lacking that element.
From the standpoint of business, it is registered with the Writers Guild LA. However, I am at liberty to sell it in any fashion I please. Let me know if you'd like to read it. And not to sound like a jerk, but stealing a concept can be a bad choice. Just saying. But you're certainly welcome to read it without paying me anything.
Whatever your decision may be, best wished in this endeavor. It's a laudable attempt on your parts.
Sincerely,
Jim Boutilier
