    1. I like a hedonistic med student facing a difficult decision. I would like to see the goal of his quest: best life for the newborn? med student clearing his reputation? avoiding financial responsibility? I still need a little help understanding “unwillingly becomes a single father.”

      He’s unwilling b/c he is a ladies man and although is on the fringes of the relationaship w/ mom, he is disconnected to the pregnancy until he DELIVERS the baby..

      Can the dilemma of a character choosing between dropping out of school or essentially neglecting “his” child sustain a feature length film? What are we actually seeing? Making a choice doesn’t take long on screen – thousands of choices get made in a regular film.

      Also; by revealing in the logline that the child is not his, and the obligation to care for the child is removed, the stakes of your story drop away. (Not Suitable For Children, a recent Aussie film with similar themes, got around this by giving the protagonist testicular cancer – even though he wasn’t ready for it, his quest became about having a child before his testicle was removed, because he would never be able to after it was gone).
