EL HIGHO DEVELOPMENT

This post was a joint effort of all team members which shows the development of ideas for the movie.

changes were made over time in sporadic fashion


This is a group effort of the selection of possible titles

Possible Title:

El-Higho We chose this because it sounds cool and sums up the idea very well

Hijo - can be confused for action movie

HIGHschool - bland

Escobar’s Son - literal documentary

God’s Lettuce - too reggae/hippy

My Highschool’s Cartel - too kawaii

Doki-Doki Addiction Club - we are not anime

High….. School - bland, doesn’t work

New Drugs in The House - too boy band-ish

My Sophomore Marijuana Tycoon - too goofy for subject matter

Idea: High-school students “The Ayaz Cartel” selling drugs at school
