Runaways
Abby invites her friend, Charlie, over for a sleepover. Abby gets in trouble shortly after Charlie arrives and gets grounded forcing Charlie to go back home. Instead, Abby decides to runaway (to her dad’s) with Charlie, but the two high school freshmen quickly learn that they aren’t as capable in nature as Abby initially thought.
Genre: Comedy.
This is a single camera short film for 3 female actors.
The script is completed and filming is planned for June 2023.
Roles:
Abby is confident in everything she does. Constantly planning everything out to the smallest detail, she always has a backup plan (just in case) and rarely feels overwhelmed by a situation. Her actions are deliberate and calculated and sometimes seems to have a magical quality to how efficient she can be when trying to accomplish a task.
Charlie is your average high school freshman. She likes to hangout with friends and is always thinking about boys. Charlie’s perfect day is not having to leave her bedroom so if she’s going to do any kind of activity, it must be worth the hassle (and she won’t do it quietly). Prone to over-reacting, Charlie can quickly become overwhelmed and only fixate on the worst possible scenario in a situation.
Abby’s Mom is care-free and looks at Abby as a friend more than someone to lord over. She only has a few rules and as long as those are respected, she’s very easy-going. She has a knack for reading people and isn’t easy to fool. She has everyone’s best interest in mind and seems to always be where she is needed most.
