Currently working on a screenplay about the progression of drug addiction. I’ve always wanted to write a story & screenplay about such individuals who excel innocently from experimentation at a young age to full fledged addiction later in life , wondering how and why it happened .

A few of my favorite films about addiction are :
The panic in needle park
Drugstore cowboy
Trainspotting
Fear & loathing
A beautiful Boy
Traffic
Shame
Leaving Las Vegas
The wolf of Wall Street
Requiem For A Dream
Permanent Midnight
Owning Mahoney

Anything suggestions ? Anything I’m missing ?

Anyone ? What are the absolute best coming of age films ? Outside of the obvious choices like the 400 blows, stand by me ,boyhood , breakfast club , Ferris bueller, dazed & confused etc . Any recommendations ? International? More edgier obscure underground films that aren’t mainstream ?

If violence in our culture is so freely glorified and accepted , then why are we as a society so shocked when something tragic happens in real life ? 🤔Some food for thought .

Recently I watched irreversible it's a Rollercoaster of emotions vulgarity brutal dark and love, all of these in its purest form nothing held back.

Idea for a film I’m working on , “ What happens to people when they become disconnected—from society, from others, from themselves” ?
Is social media and technology bringing us together , or slowly destroying us ? Was Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World a devastating premonition ? 🤔
