Synopsis/Details
Award-winning writer, Jupiter Dives has started her next book, but she’s not the only one in her basement. A raunchy, dirty woman with cold cream on her face known only as “Drunk Woman” is chugging whiskey mid-day, searching loudly for hidden weed, and derailing every attempt Jupiter makes to put words on the page. She wants to talk about nights on the town, getting arrested, Jupiter’s teenage clown costume, her liaisons with a girl with dirty fingernails, cancer babies, hell she even wants to write the damn book herself! But when her illiterate father is brought up, Jupiter has to decide whether she’s going to give in to temptation or write the book without any help.

Influences: Ari Aster Rod Serling/Twilight Zone Charlie Kaufman David Lynch Franz Kafka Background: I guess it all began with me hanging out of the back of a moving van as I threw raw meat to an angry grizzly bear, hoping the cameraman could get the perfect shot. Yeah, I started in production, reality television to be exact. But, it wasn’t all bad, I got to party with rock stars… Go to bio
