A STORY ABOUT LOVE, LOSS, AND THE COLLISION OF BELIEF AND BEAUTY.
Sweet American Boy follows a young man carrying his mother’s ashes to Paris and a girl traveling there to destroy the Eiffel Tower. When their paths cross on a train, a story of opposites begins, grief and faith, tenderness and fury, beauty and ruin. What unfolds is a blur of salons, poetry, and becoming, an exploration of love as truth, vulnerability, and transformation.
IP DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
FORMAT: SHORT + FEATURE
STATUS: In Development
A FEATURE SCREENPLAY THAT TURNS LOVE INTO REVOLUTION
Pitch ready
The format strategy for Sweet American Boy is designed as a feature-length film that captures the tension between love and ideology, beauty and destruction. Paris becomes both setting and symbol, a city where creation and collapse exist side by side. The screenplay’s structure mirrors that rhythm, moving fluidly between intimacy and spectacle, belief and doubt, until the two converge in a single act of truth.
Through this film, Sweet American Boy positions love as resistance and vulnerability as a revolutionary force. It’s a cinematic exploration of what it means to see another person complete, and how that act, in a fractured world, might be the most dangerous thing of all.
