THIS IS BLISS
By Jack Garman

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

Logline - Two drug users set up a flash mob wedding so they can sell their gifts
to pay off their dealer but their friends, neighbors and family are so ecstatic about their
wedding that the couple is taken in by their own scam.

SYNOPSIS:

In This Is Bliss, I've tried to show how two people new to a 12-step program

make astonishingly bad decisions to reach a universal goal, ready cash. Their

neighbors and friends pitch in with an overwhelming happiness to set up a rush wedding

complete with tables full of re-gifted merch that serve as the couple’s true focus.

The neighbors and friends tame the wild backyard for dancing and break out their

bridesmaids dresses and suitable male plumage, while the local minister steps up to

make sure the whole thing is 'legal in the eyes of god and man.’ It’s going so well that

the bride and groom think no one will mind when they rush the on-line auction to pop off

during their reception.

Meanwhile, their neighbors are loving the party but can't figure out why strangers

are dropping in and walking off with wedding gifts for cash. They have already accepted

the sight of a trio of street dealers at their shindig since the groom is a former cop and

besides, there are three other cops in dress blues sticking close to such an unlikely trio.

The story is propelled by the demanding former cop who sees himself as a kind

of savior to his lady, and she takes it all in stride while her younger sister and her

neighbors want to pull her away from powders, pills and potions. Eventually, the couple

is peppered with questions but the party atmosphere prevails. They get their money and

surprise, they're married, something they hadn't counted on.
