LEADING DAN

LEADING DAN
By Shiva Safari

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

When a talented yet troubled teenage superstar is placed under the care of an insecure, failed writer-turned-manny, they forge an unlikely bond amidst the chaos of the entertainment world, navigating fame, identity, and the desperate quest for genuine connection amidst the glittering facade of stardom.

SYNOPSIS:

In the dazzling world of showbiz, 14-year-old Danny shines as a megastar. His cool demeanour, now tinted with mischief, conceals his profound struggle with his identity. Trapped inside the madness of adolescence, he finds himself drowning in fame’s all consuming vortex, feeling adrift and alone amid a sea of adoring fans. Desperate for an outlet, he unleashes havoc on and off set.

Meanwhile, Danny's mother, Leila, immersed in her own pursuit of fame, treats their lives as a reality show, overlooking Danny's emotional needs.

Enter Jared, a clumsy and modest failed writer thrown into the role of Danny's manny. Consumed with self-doubt about being an adequate parental figure and no experience in childcare, Jared feels inept at mentoring Danny. Yet, his unpretentious nature and immunity to celebrity glitz inadvertently make him the authentic friend and mentor Danny craves.

Polar opposites, they are exactly the support system that each of them needed to be able to grow through their individual weaknesses.
