Lulu at the Ace Hotel
Lulu is just an average little girl. Except instead of going home after school, she goes to the Ace Hotel, a modern-day palace for her personal playground.
Synopsis: Lulu is an 8 year old girl. Just like any other 8 year old, full of sugar and spice and plenty of mischief. The only difference is that Lulu has free reign over an entire hotel for her mischief. She might not live in the Ace Hotel, but she knows it like the back of her hand. She takes us on a tour of what it’s like to be a kid in a hotel that's modern, gritty, rock n' roll, and full of vintage furniture. (It turns out that it's pretty fun.) But one day, when Lulu’s “helping” her grandmother, who works as a housekeeper at the Ace, she accidentally stumbles into some “play” that’s more serious. When she interrupts some rather adult activity, the hotel staff find out that she’s been sneaking around corners she wasn’t supposed to visit, and Lulu learns that sometimes her actions have unexpected consequences, and those consequences might not be all fun and games.

September 2, 2011Christopher Rowley I love this bit of the script. I can almost feel the film already.
July 12, 2010Mackenzie Firgens Congrats Maya! Looking forward to seeing the film
March 14, 2010Jea Devoe Intriguing plot, can't wait to see the finished film, as a native New yorker who has worked and played in New York Hotels I have a keen interest in seeing this one! break a leg
January 27, 2010Ron McLawrence Great story!!!!
January 18, 2010Kristen Tinsley This won?
December 2, 2009Markus Kirschner Really like this and it seems totally feasible within the constraints of the competition. I like the idea of a hipster Eloise that's more sympathetic and less spoiled brat. Sweet and funny. Nice work.
November 23, 2009Killer Production Team David Kaplan Very cute. You did a really nice job with this.
November 15, 2009Natalia Lusinski I think this is a GREAT idea in that:
November 11, 20091) Its main star is a kid (like my piece, The Play Date, too; maybe we can set up Oliver and Lulu!).
2) It is not about sex or affairs (not necessarily, anyway!).
It has several cute moments - like when Lulu watches the bartender make "potions."
However, I wanted to see Lulu interact more with the guests, and them with her, and see how she affects the guests and workers at the hotel -- other than her just being an observer and the audience just learning everything through voice-over. Unless that is the point... that she is passive, then becomes active.
All in all, good job! :)
Nancy Kissam Just lovely.
December 21, 2009Randy Gordon-Gatica You really have a feel for what you're attempting. I think this is the first pitch I've read that has a child as a central character and that perhaps it makes sense that one of the shorts made should.
November 10, 2009You have a couple of potential rights conflicts. I don't know how it would work to state out right influenced by such a known work as that. And in a way I'm not sure the piece is. LuLu really seems to be your creation. Right now this is more like an introduction to the character than a short film. You might want to figure out how to just focus on the incident at the end. That it the perfect kind of moment to build a short film around. In my experience readers are crazy about format. I'd watch in your description when you write, "we see...." Read some of the other scripts to see how others write scenes.
