 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2014 coming-of-age indie film, the debut of writer/director Anna Martemucci (now known professionally as A.M. Lukas). In Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania (a central PA suburb of Altoona), a group of high school friends reunite during a Thanksgiving break from their college classes. Former prom king and college freshman Scott is dumped in the middle of sex by his girlfriend Heather, who seems to be having a mental health crisis, and strikes up an unlikely friendship with Tori, a former wallflower emerging from the shadow of her high school best friend Katie. As the two warm up to each other and embark on some wacky antics, their relationship starts to turn into something deeper.The process of this movie being made was documented on the Set Behind the Scenes Reality Show The Chair (2014) on Starz, which documented Martemucci and Shane Dawson as they both set to make different films from the same script (Dawson's being Not Cool). Of the two, while Not Cool ended up winning the series, Hollidaysburg was significantly better-received by critics.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Adapted Out: Scott's parents, who are relatively major characters in the original screenplay, don't appear at all in this movie, with Martemucci making the major change to the plot that rather than being about to move to Florida they already have moved to Florida, Scott's mother appearing only in the form of a voice on the phone. This script also completely removes the Ethnic Scrappy character of Fong (who became Shareef in Not Cool), the party host, and replaces Janie and Joel with the Composite Character Katie.

 Adaptational Heroism: The original script had a somewhat cliché scenario with Heather inspiring her new Love Interest from the Wrong Side of the Tracks, William, to make something better of himself by leveraging his skill as a cook. Hollidaysburg inverts this, with Petroff already working as a cook, and being the one to tell Heather that upward mobility in the no-college-degree minimum-wage world isn't what it's cracked up to be, in order to discourage her from her plan to drop out of school.
