Caught Out There: A Black Platonic Comedy Screenplay - Paperback

by Tahira Chloe Mahdi (Author), Christopher a. Brown (Author)

Platonic comedy (platon-com): Because sometimes a man and a woman are actually just good friends who will never, ever have sex.

Black: With a capital B and specific cultural intentions.

Plot: With the world in disarray and human-form aliens appearing and disappearing all the time, the Earthlings have not ceased their quests for love and companionship. Heartly and Malik are lovelorn humans who meet by chance at a bar and forge a friendship that turns out to be the platonic rebound they both need. A mutual dare leads them to a Zodiac-based matchmaking service, and they soon realize that extraterrestrials are also on the market. As news of these Black-presenting aliens who call themselves "Notofearths" (as in, not of Earth) dominate media, the new besties wonder... Will they discover down-to-earth love or take the chance to see what's out there?
