Dan’s Thriller “Rush Junkies” Named ISA’s Top Summer Read

Dan’s original screenplay RUSH JUNKIES — a young adult crime thriller is named one of the International Screenwriters’ Association’s Top Summer Reads on their exclusive annual list which highlights the most promising screenwriters and scripts shaping the future of film and television.

Logline: Six thrill-seeking juvenile delinquents sent to a wilderness boot camp are forced to face their personal demons and pushed to their limits when they hatch an elaborate plan to steal one million dollars from an exclusive hotel in the snow swept mountains of Aspen.

“RUSH JUNKIES is an action-packed commercial heist movie set in an Aspen hotel and disciplinary camp” explains Dan, It has the teen friendship and growing pains drama beats of THE BREAKFAST CLUB fused with the heist intensity of OCEAN’S ELEVEN and told from a young adult’s perspective making it feel contemporary and authentic.”

“The story follows likable misfits audiences can relate to and root for and the action-packed and intricately planned heist provides an entertaining story for audiences to get invested in.

The concept is simple but with a twist. It’s a group of delinquent teenagers put in a situation where their trouble making ways actually WORK for them. So instead of reforming their ways they go in the complete opposite direction.”
