PITCH
My movie is about drinking in college, especially due to peer pressure. Because I do have some friends who had trouble before and I believe it’s a problem that everyone should be aware of.
In the beginning of the story, Stephanie, who has just survived the midterm week, asks Mary to go to the frat row with their friends together. Mary is a little bit tired, but since Stephanie is her best friend in college and all her other friends are going, she doesn’t want to reject them. So then she agrees, though not that willingly. Before they go, they pregame heavily. One of Mary’s friends, Tom, keeps giving liquor to Mary and gets her really drunk.
At the party, they dance and have fun at first. But soon, Mary suddenly vomits on a girl. People and brothers kick Mary out.
It’s already 2 am. Mary, with the help of Stephanie, gets back to dorm. Mary starts talking, so loudly that wakes Lindsey, her roommate, and a lot of people on that floor up. Mary is really angry at Tom because he gets her so drunk. Meanwhile, she also feels really sorry for the girl she has vomited on earlier. “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.” Mary starts crying, “How can Tom do this to me? Why did he get me so freaking drunk?” Then she goes to Lindsey’s bed and says, “I feel so sorry Lindsey I woke you up. I know the roommate contracts and I'm not supposed to come back this late but I’m just too drunk.”
She keeps saying and crying for an hour. “Don’t worry Mary. It’s OK. Everyone is here to help.” Lindsey gets off her bed and hands Mary a glass of water. Stephanie, who only has some beer, is pretty much sober. She hugs Mary and pats her on the shoulder, telling her that not to go to the frat parties and drink too much alcohol because of peer pressure. “Be yourself, Mary.”
The next morning, Mary sobers up completely. She recalls everything that has happened the night before. She says to Lindsey and her friends, “I’m so sorry about last night but trust me guys: I’m so determined. I won’t go to the frat row for a really long time and I will never ever drink so much again. I promise.”
Throughout the rest of the semester, Mary keeps her promise and doesn’t go to any frat parties. She also makes a lot of friends, through actively involving herself in club activities and other meaningful social events, rather than frats.
