This is a script written to be read. It is not written to simply be a blueprint in that it’s my ode to Quentin Tarantino inspiring me, which fueled the page count. Regardless, it helped me land my first contract offer as a sample. Forcing me to question whether I’m lucky or actually good at this. A few readers have compared it to Pulp Fiction, a high honor which has lead me to say it’s akin to Will & Grace meets Pulp Fiction. Story : ❝In 1975 Los Angeles a former hitwoman is forced back into action due to the greed of her ungrateful thieving stepson. Simultaneously reuniting and putting her at odds with her former protégée that she once treated like a daughter. Who also happens to be still be working for their former Boss, the woman now threatening her new life. Meanwhile her former partner in crime is stuck in the middle while he tries to do his job, stay loyal and keep his lover safe from the fallout and his homophobic father.❞ All poster thanks are with permission, Ellen pushed me when it was just me and a few pages and boosted the heck out of it on twitter. Lee is on the poster, upper left, Roger taught me a lot about film and Clem helped with music ideas that fueled the write. The poster art is by the legendary Colin Murdoch. Business: In terms of the budget, I believe it could be filmed cheapish, locations are minimal and really only require locations with 70s decor and practical effects, if we could pull a Black Dynamite budget we’d probably be fine but a Once upon a time in Hollywood tier run is the dream. As is directing, if I was going to direct anything of mine, it would be this as the shots are in my mind. There’s also two sequels that are kind of mapped out already. You could potentially get a trilogy out of this for less than the price of one mid-budget movie.
