A high school football star must restore his reputation through Biblical counseling once an inappropriate picture of his girlfriend spreads onto the internet.
Synopsis
Send is a dramedy written for 4L Films for the Christian market. The story addresses the problem of impulsive teens and instant connectivity.
Budding musician Rachel Dugard (16) sends an inappropriate picture of herself to her boyfriend, high school quarterback Jae Stroud (18). Jae is understandably overwhelmed. And life is great, until his phone goes missing at a party, and her pic is sent all over school and the internet.
Jae is arrested for distributing child pornography. Jae’s lawyer recommends counseling to offset the charges before the arraignment. So Jae ends up in the office of Pascal, a Biblical counselor with a unique method for delving into his patient’s heart issues. Jae goes along, but he also hatches a plan to clear himself by finding the one who texted Rachel’s photo.
So what happened?
We believe this story is both relevant and entertaining. It has the potential to reach a vast audience and start many meaningful conversations about social media, modern morality and teen relationships.
However, the best time to produce a sexting story was when it was in the zeitgeist, around 2015-18. We failed to find funding in time, the Christian market shied from a subject so relevant, and the world moved past it into the COVID era.
