GENRE: SCI-FI/COMEDY

TYPE: SHORT
PAGE COUNT: 16

A young man on the edge of his first real relationship gets interrupted by his future self, who shows up with one desperate warning: do not sleep with her. As the night spirals into chaos, the two Adams clash over love, regret, and a rumor that will go on to ruin his life.

Beyond a time-travel gag, the story sits in the gap between the version of yourself making the choice and the version who has to live with it. The future can warn you, but it can't make you listen, and the younger Adam isn't sure the older one is worth trusting anyway.

THIS SHORT SCREENPLAY EARNED ME A SPOT IN THE FINALE OF THE NYC SCREENWRITING COMPETITION 2024.


HERE’S A GLIMPSE INTO THE TREATMENT:

TREATMENT - DON’T SLEEP WITH HER, ADAM!
