You Gotta Know

This is what I'm thinking should happen in the opening. 

It is Gianni’s birthday 

 

Gianni thinks his real dad is a super cool dude, but he’s just a business man 

 

Gianni’s mom name is Lucy 

Lucy is annoying

A lot of anxiety, quiet, easily pushed around  

Does everything fake dad says  

Barely interacts with her sons 

 

Real dad name is Gianni Sr.

 

Fake dad’s name Edward 

 

Ideas for Gianni’s monologue 

  • Feels that he doesn’t belong in his town/fam  

  • Wants to discover himself, escape from his toxic environment  

  • Throughout movie, he feels that if his find his real dad all his questions will be answered  


Gianni is:  

Snarkysarcastic, very protective over Lucas 

 

Lucas is:

Depressed, sad, awkward  



(This is what's going to happen in the opening)


Gianni lays down on bed in room 

Goes to mail box 

During this, credits roll in 

Sees Postcard from dad, saying happy birthday  

Gianni is confused & angry

Goes to mom confronts her 

Argues, bring up fake dad.  

Brings up characteristics about fake dad “ feel like Ive ever looked like him or related to him”  

Goes to Lucas finds him eating cereal, tells him to get ready we’re leaving 

Talk in the car 

Driving off 

End- drives away in car
