What is your screenplay about? Grad Nite centers around a group of high school seniors on an overnight field trip to a theme park where mutilated bodies begin to pile up. What genres does your screenplay fall under? This is a slasher, a horror slasher, with a dash of coming-of-age for depth. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? Slashers as a horror subgenre are unique in that nostalgia and familiar beats are expected and celebrated just as much as originality. It's the originality in Grad Nite that is unlike any other slasher you've ever read or seen. These are characters that are sidelined in other stories, taking center stage here, with a unique tone and energy that is patented me (Sion-Raize). —— Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
