LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, June 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Call Sheet Media is proud to announce the acquisition of Rebels in Paradise: A Med School Story, an audacious, semi-autobiographical screenplay written by Leonard Tachmes, M.D., a board-certified plastic surgeon with over three decades of practice in New York and Miami, and a former contemporary art gallery owner.

Set in 1982 on a small Caribbean island, Rebels in Paradise follows a ragtag group of American misfits—rejected from U.S. med schools—as they attempt to survive the eccentricities, culture shock, and academic chaos of a bootstrapped offshore medical program. With unfiltered humor and sharp humanity, the script captures the formative collisions between ambition, youth, and recklessness. Think Animal House meets Stand and Deliver—with cadavers, corruption, and Caribbean sunsets.

Tachmes, who has practiced aesthetic surgery for 31 years and directed a critically acclaimed Miami art gallery from 2001 to 2011, began screenwriting eleven years ago. Rebels in Paradise is his sixth completed feature-length script and his most personal.

The project is currently in pre-development with casting, packaging, and director attachments to follow later this year. Call Sheet Media sees the film as a potential cult classic and a breakout comedy rooted in real, character-driven storytelling.

“This is not just a med school comedy,” Tachmes notes. “It’s a love letter to second chances, to finding your tribe in the most unlikely places, and to becoming who you’re meant to be—even if it starts with failure.”
