VERY BIG WORLD ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS TEEN FILM SCRIPT, FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY! FROM AWARD WINNING WRITER, MORGAN DAMERON.
Exciting News! We have optioned an incredible script by a super talented writer, Morgan Dameron, Writer/ Director of the award winning Different Flowers starring and produced by Emmy Award-winner Shelley Long. Fight For Your Right to Party! is a hilarious, whip smart genre bending twist on the teen prom film. The script is imaginative, funny and at times wonderfully scary, in the best way. Morgan beautifully captures the emotions and relationships, the rebellion and life struggles of these mid-western teens, especially as the high point of their senior year is threatened.
Fight For Your Right To Party! perfectly aligns with Very Big World Entertainment’s focus to develop content for the underserved yet highly valuable audience of teens between the ages of 10-15 years old, especially girls.
We are so excited to begin development on this project with Morgan.
