Title: Sigmund's Void (based on actual events)

Logline: Desperate for approval from his fiancées family, a young Sigmund Freud endeavors to find fame and fortune with the introduction of a “wonder drug.” When he inadvertently transforms the medical community and society at large into cocaine addicts, he must find a way to restore his reputation and win back his true love.

Can't seem to decide if I like better as a comedy, dramedy or straight drama.

Any thoughts?

Everyone in the medical community is going to instantly have an image of Sigmund urinating.

It's funny you say that! My screenplay opens with Freud dreaming of an event from childhood when he snuck into his parents bedroom after hearing them having sex....enraged, he lashes out by peeing all over their room. His father gets very angry and tells his wife "Nothing will come of this boy..."

This incident (which actually happened) haunted Freud throughout his life.

As a psychologist, I must beg you NOT to write about Freud... haha... everything he did was wrong and has been long since debunked. Interesting person... yes... but only for his cocaine stories!! :)

Which is the story I'm telling...he was 28 at the time, fresh out of med school yet to even touch on psychoanalysis as a concept. btw, I'm also a psychologist - Psy.D. Clinical Psychology.

Which might be a good reasons to make it a comedy or a dramedy. A dark one. Not trying to tell you which genre you should choose though.
