SYNOPSIS:

Six Pack is like a female Rocky with bodybuilding and centers around Sophie Vallis. The story opens with Sophie losing her job for being perpetually late. Luck turns in her favor when her boyfriend, Frank, proposes on her cancer-free, five year anniversary. Sophie says, “yes,” and friends at her ADHD support group applaud her decision to finally make a commitment. She is excited about getting married, but after she can’t fit into her mother’s wedding gown, she accepts a reception position at a gym owned by former bodybuilding champ, Odin Garian. At first, Sophie only fantasizes about what her forty-year old physique could look like....until she meets Daria, a bodybuilder in her fifties. The encounter motivates Sophie to enter a three-month fitness challenge. Sophie loses the weight and fits into her mother’s wedding gown, but her true reward is the realization that she can follow a plan to completion. Feeling strong and confident, she decides to compete in a bodybuilding contest. However, Frank isn’t comfortable with Sophie’s new found independence and growing friendship with Odin. He forces her to choose between their relationship and bodybuilding. Sophie chooses the latter and trains for the Open Masters Natural Bodybuilding Contest. Sophie’s mind and body continue to strengthen through each workout, and her passion for bodybuilding is soon matched outside the weight room when she falls for Odin. Their courtship is soon interrupted after Daria’s untimely death, and the grief tears the couple apart. Sophie must find a way to stand on her own and prove she’s strong enough to become a champion...on stage and to herself. Six Pack has an inspirational theme that demonstrates how having a strong will can help us overcome adversity. If you'd like to read the screenplay, please feel free to contact me.
