YES—let’s do this.
A raw, hilarious, heartfelt, South Asian-centered, coming-of-age R-rated summer story, dripping in awkward hookups, wild nights, deep secrets, and emotional goodbyes.
Think: American Pie meets Never Have I Ever meets Superbad meets Sex Education—but with rich cultural flavor, accents, family pressure, and big identity shifts.
PROJECT BLUEPRINT: “AFTER THE LAST BELL”
Eight teens. One wild summer. Everything’s about to change.
SETTING:
• Singapore + Kuala Lumpur + Jakarta + Bangkok – a mix of vibrant cities and late-night beaches
• All characters are international school grads, now facing the best and worst summer of their lives before heading to Ivy League schools, national service, med school, or… nothing at all
TONE:
• R-Rated teen sexual comedy
• Bold. Hilarious. Heartfelt.
• Lots of sweat, awkward kisses, weed in the wrong bag, and huge feelings they don’t know how to say out loud
• Heavy on character arcs, cultural pressure, found family, and that bittersweet sense of everything slipping away
