My goal when writing my screenplay - as should be the goal of every,screenwriter - was to make the greatest movie NEVER made.
I loved high school. Because in high school, we all had to be a certain,way. We all had to fit in a certain clique. And if anyone came in who,was even a little different, they were killed for it.
