Title


I have chosen this phrase at the title for my short because of its cultural significance, and this phrase has iconsised abuse and has been referenced numerous times in American pop culture.
The themes of our short film are abuse and the dangers of drugs, and this title depicts abuse, but also connotes the use of drugs- straight to the "moon". This title has many levels of depth and suggests the issues that my short film deals with.

The Honeymooners is an American television show, based on a 1951–'55 sketch of the same name, which originally aired on the DuMont Network's "Cavalcade of Stars" and subsequently on the CBS Network's "Jackie Gleason Show".
 
 Alice is Ralph's patient but sharp-tongued wife of roughly 15 years. She often finds herself bearing the brunt of Ralph's insults, which she returns with biting sarcasm. She is level headed, in contrast to Ralph's pattern of inventing various schemes to enhance his wealth or his pride; in each case, she sees the current one's unworkability, but he becomes angry and ignores her advice. (And by the end of the episode, her misgivings are almost always proven to have been well-founded.) She has grown accustomed to his empty threats: "... one of these days ... Pow! Right in the kisser! One of these days Alice, straight to the Moon!"
