7 May
Summary
- A rom-com follows a girl trying to recreate a party for a boy with amnesia.
- The film's concept originated from a Syracuse University screenwriting course.
- American High, a production company, specializes in provocative teen comedies.
A new R-rated comedy, "Second First Date," centers on Nora, a high schooler who falls for Charlie but faces a setback when he loses his memory of their first encounter after a party accident. Nora, with her friend Hailey's help, embarks on a mission to meticulously recreate the memorable house party to rekindle Charlie's affections.
The film's genesis traces back to a "Script-to-Screen" course at Syracuse University in Spring 2019, initiated by Jeremy Garelick, founder of American High. Students developed the original script under professional guidance, a process that Garelick and collaborator Ben Frahm continue to oversee, maintaining a strong connection with the university.
American High, founded by Garelick in 2017, operates from Syracuse, NY, and specializes in teen comedies, having produced 22 features. The company also runs a digital network and a nonprofit academy, further immersing students in film and media careers through programs like "Script-to-Screen."
