Brighton and Hove
Synopsis/Details:
A Comedy of Apocalyptic Proportions!
Tagline: Life is tough. Extinction is tougher!
It’s Terry Gilliam’s "Brazil" meets Terry Gilliam’s "Twelve Monkeys", but this time there's no Bruce Willis or time machine to save us.
"Rule #1: Whatever you do, don't let those blasted chickens in!"
As a bird flu pandemic flaps its wings outside the gates, an unleaderly leader, dysfunctional scientists, and stir-crazy survivors begin a second quarter century hiding in a filthy, cramped compound. At the same time, the few women in the place welcome old age after birthing nothing but males in a vain attempt to keep the species going.
But then a lonely, self-loathing Magistrate decides to act against the strict conventions of the place.
Oh, and then there’s that peculiar person named “Scabby”...
Can humanity (and love) prevail, if given a chance?
If you'd like to view the script or synopsis for this story, in which the slapstick is tempered by some pretty biting satire about the meaning of freedom and democracy, I look forward to sending the PDF(s) to your attention! (Also available as Cable Pilot.)

The Writer: Steve Garry
I'm here to make films, not to merely gain endless options for my screenplays. I'm actively pursuing attachments for my smaller scale projects before I work my way up, so I'm looking for co-producers/investors. As a result of a decade of pitching and being read hundreds of times, I have connections to enhance the resources that you have available. Don't hesitate to approach me with this in mind! Flexibility, creativity and unconventional collaborations are necessary to make films. Go to bio
