| Title: | VALEDICTORIAN |
| Logline: | At an elite high school where academics are everything, a 17-year-old girl schemes to become Valedictorian after the suspicious death of her boyfriend, the former number one student. |
| Pitch: | ELECTION meets PRETTY LITTLE LIARS |
| Writer: | Jimmy Mosqueda |
| Genre: | Comedy | Drama |
| Why to Read: | Set in a competitive high school where a high class ranking provides VIP status, this pilot is an absurdist drama, masterfully constructed and darkly comedic; not only clever, but emotionally astute. This is a roller coaster ride of a script with a lead character so complex that she absolutely could have killed her boyfriend just to move up in the class rankings, whether she’s aware of it or not. With mysteries, suspense, and a classic teen angst bent around every corner, this pilot has the potential to be a cross-generational hit. Endlessly relatable without falling too far into the teen soap space, as these are the cutthroat, straight-A kids we rarely see represented on screen, but whom everyone remembers from high school – if you weren’t one yourself. |
