LOGLINE:
​
When a free-spirited owner of a popular marijuana dispensary enlists his estranged son to work for him, they soon find themselves in a heart-pumping race against time as the shop becomes the ultimate battleground between law enforcement and ruthless criminals.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​
Cannabis has gone corporate, but the culture’s story hasn’t caught up. Get In Where You Fit In isn’t about stoner stereotypes — it’s about family, change, and the soul of a movement. As legalization sweeps the globe, this film captures the moment: the clash between old-school heart and new-school hustle. It’s funny, fresh, and grounded in love — the kind of story that gets high on meaning, not just smoke. As legalization grows, this is the only weed story that hits the heart.

PITCH:

​​An intellectually crafted comedy that will leave you both entertained and enlightened! "Get In Where You Fit In" follows Pops, the savvy owner of a marijuana dispensary, and his son Jacob, who is reluctant to leave his street-dealing days behind and join the family business, Pops Pot Shop.

However, chaos quickly ensues on Jacob's first day as his former employer, the four-foot-tall, violent, and narcissistic drug dealer Zip, shows up demanding what she thinks is her share of the profits. As if that wasn't enough, two gun-toting thugs, Chris and Arlen, barge in with the intent to steal everything they can, just as the police, led by the uptight and pot-hating Officer Woods and Officer Richards, are preparing to raid the shop.
​
With reefer smoke filling the air and bullets whizzing past their heads, the characters in this film are in for a wild ride that will leave you in stitches. As they face one absurd situation after another, their reactions are nothing short of hilarious and witty. Jacob and his group of fellow stoners must use their quick thinking and resourcefulness to overcome each obstacle and save the dispensary, while Jacob tries to earn the respect of his father in this uproarious comedy.

Writer Statement

I wanted to write a script that wasn't just about getting high. A fun "Barbershop" type of film, set in a "Dog Day Afternoon" story, all wrapped around a marijuana dispensary. I feel this was achieved in a fun, coming-of-age, movie that deals with current issues.

I wrote about a father passing on the family business; which happens to be a Marijuana Collective, on the same day robbers, and drug dealers, storm in. All while local police wait outside, ready to raid in.
