SMASH GIRL

SMASH GIRL
By Tennyson Stead

GENRE: Comedy, Adventure
LOGLINE:

Punk rock singer Jane Smash accidentally gives herself superpowers on a post-show bender and, with the help of her band, uses them to fight the system.

SYNOPSIS:

Yesterday, JANE SMASH was the broke, homeless lead singer of a profoundly underappreciated LA punk band called Smashcock. Last night, in a post-show party rampage, Jane took some suspicious drugs and fought a power transformer. Now, thanks to that cataclysmic cocktail of bad decisions, Jane is indestructible and super strong!

With Jane’s superhuman talent for destruction and mayhem, the girls of Smashcock break into a bank and stage a guerrilla punk concert. The plan is simple: play awesome music to an ever-growing crowd, while the citizens of Los Angeles show up and take whatever they want from the bank vault. After all, who can stop them?

While the girls are busy staging the ultimate punk show, the United States Government hatches a plan to harness Jane’s unbridled power for the good of all America. Dispatching a pair of very serious intelligence agents, the Defense Department will “make every reasonable effort” to recruit Jane as a superhuman working for the Pentagon. When those efforts inevitably fail, what other choice will our leaders have to control this superhuman threat... but to nuke Los Angeles, and to finally rid America of the gay, Hispanic, libtard media whores and the Babylon from whence they come!?!

With the police treating Jane’s concert like the hostage crisis it clearly is, with Jane demanding that the LAPD lift their barricades so she can fill her “venue” with audience members, drugs, and booze, with protesters screaming in defense of Jane’s right to rock, with media coverage coming from every direction, and with our government building the plausible deniability they need to finally blow the City of Angels straight to Hell... Los Angeles needs a hero, and we need that hero right f#@&in’ now!

Jane Smash is not that hero, but she knows something they don’t! Punk is alive and well on the streets of Los Angeles, and she will not go down without a fight!

If I can find a female director or producer for this project with the skill and the stamina to make this movie as loose and fun and loud as it can be, I'd definitely be willing to work out an option or a selling price that helps them do it.

I just got this quote from a screenplay competition I entered, a few weeks back: "Smash Girl does an amazing job of taking the superhero genre and reinventing it with the spirit of punk and a revolutionary plot that wholesomely concludes."

They were sending this to sell me on the expanded notes that come with my entry, so who knows what else they had to say... but that's a very handy pull-quote to have!
