Genre talk!

 Immediately when me and my partner decided we wanted to work together, we knew exactly what genre we wanted to do for this short film! Me and my partner, who is also one of my closest friends are incredibly similar when it comes to what media we love. We knew we wanted to do a comedy loosely based off of us because we always talk about how we are those two main characters in those teen coming of age comedy movies. We also want to add a romance aspect to this comedy. We noticed that the movies that are under the comedy genre usually have a romantic subplot. We are still developing how we want our character dynamic and how we will give them romantic interests but here are some films that are super inspired by when it comes to this:

Booksmart (2019) 
Directed by Olivia Wilde 
Genre: Comedy/Drama

Bottoms (2023)
Directed by Emma Segilman
Genre: Comedy

Theater Camp (2023)
Directed by Molly Gordon & Nick Lieberman
Genre: Comedy/Drama

But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
Directed by Jamie Babbit
Genre: Comedy/Romance

These movies fall in the same genre and will be a big part on how we decide to build our short films story, world and characters. I am so excited to do this project with inspirations from some of my favorite films!
