"Two Girls Kissing" hits the festival circuit
Asylum Entertainment, April 2017
​
"Two Girls Kissing," the teen comedy/drama written by Tom Madden has received nice reviews on the script service, The Blacklist, and is now competing on the festival circuit.
​
A high school girl tries to leverage her social status after gaining popularity from kissing her female friend.
Two Girls Kissing is a charming comedy about popularity, sexuality, not belonging and learning what's really important.
After her Father is transferred again Tacy, little "Miss It" back in Pittsburgh, finds popularity much tougher to achieve in a prestigious California school. That is until the school rebel, Nichole, kisses her in front of the whole student body and she's back on the A list...for all the wrong reasons. The school is turned upside down in this teen comedy with a lot of heart.
“The premise is particularly interesting, and features an intriguing twist to the classic teen movie genre”…The Blacklist
“…a unique and provocative concept, which creates a strong dramatic hook for the story that will inspire producers and audiences to find out how the story plays out.”…The Blacklist
“…a commercially viable comedy that would appeal to female audiences under 25 that enjoy movies MEAN GIRLS or EASY A.”…The Blacklist
