This however, will NOT be your typical screenplay about strippers.
They're always portrayed as hopelessly fucked up (a la Showgirls) or in some crazy deep intrigue or life as a single parent or whatever (case in point Striptease).
I'm a big fan of "slice of life" movies like Waiting, Empire Records, and The Breakfast Club, and it's gonna follow that outline. ONE DAY in the life of strip club employees.
I'm going to collect some of my more memorable moments working in the club and combine into one day.
Portraying strippers as normal people. Witty people. I want it to be funny and entertaining. There will be drama (what strip club doesn't have drama???) but I really want to portray the way that we see it. Very Tarantino-esque without all the blood and hails of gunfire.
There will be T and A (obviously) but it will be very much in the background. You'll basically only see it in short bursts. Except for one scene that's very memorable to me...one night a huge stripper fight broke out in the dressing room at my club, the majority of the girls involved were in nothing but their g-strings. It was absolutely hilarious.
My best male friend is an indie film director so he's going to direct it when it's finished.
I have so much stressing me out right now with my family and friends that I NEED a light-hearted fun project to throw myself into.
I'll keep everyone posted on its progress!
