Development Pitch
INSPIRATION This story is drawn upon the real-life experiences I've accumulated in 15+ years in all types of restaurants, nightclubs, and pubs. I’m compelled to share a wide variety of interesting and many times disturbing stories of bar culture. The back story and main arc of this concept are in part based upon incidents that have been incorporated and dramatized. The names have been changed to protect the guilty. WORLD The prologue is set in the '70s, but the main story takes place in the late '90s in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is a time before the dependency on cell phones and social media. It was still acceptable to smoke in public places. Having multiple sex partners was still in fashion and cocaine was the rage. MARKET The story has a lot of great elements; drama, music, romance, and partying. I feel the setting is fresh and hasn't been overdone by any means, especially from an edgy behind-the-scenes POV of the real lifestyle and its pitfalls. Although I do want the story to have a comedic tone, this is by no means a Cheers. There are great opportunities for product placement with liquor companies and other bar related products. The music and dance routines are fun and easily incorporated in whatever doses are deemed appropriate. SUMMARY I see this as a cable movie or short series, maybe half-hour segments. I hope you will see the possibilities in it and contact me. The website is: https://barsoaplbb.com. Thank you for your consideration.
