F.M.L - "THE KAREN"

F.M.L - "THE KAREN"
By Ritchie Johnston

GENRE: Drama, Comedy
LOGLINE:

After beating cancer but losing his career, a grumpy ex-screenwriter finds himself in a brutal PTA turf war with vape-happy mums, a criminal producer finally getting cancelled, and the terrifying possibility of making a comeback

SYNOPSIS:

When Dave Sloane — a mixed-race ex-screenwriter and cancer survivor — gets banned from his kid’s school for swearing at a PTA Karen, he thinks he’s hit rock bottom. But when the Hollywood producer who blackballed him a decade ago is arrested in a #MeToo-style scandal, Dave’s quiet life of back pain, dad jokes, and passive-aggressive neighbors gets flipped on its head.

Now, juggling parenting, unresolved trauma, and an unexpected offer to return to writing, Dave must decide if he’s got the nerve to chase redemption — or if he’s too jaded (and high on medical weed) to care.

F.M.L is a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud dramedy about survival, second chances, and the modern male midlife meltdown — think After Life meets Curb Your Enthusiasm, with British bite and emotional depth.
