Synopsis/Details
For As Long As The Game Lasts is an OLiver Twist, slight-of-hand type caper that takes place in NYC in the 1990s. It is based upon true events. The names have been changed to protect the guilty. Cast is big, but since it is mostly drama and dialogue, not flash or effects, that makes up for it budget-wise. Most of it could be shot anywhere, combined with some essential NYC locations. My main goals are to either sell this to a production company or find $3 to $5 million in financing to shoot the film independently. If you are a film company, producer, director or principal actor and would like to read my script, please message me and identify yourself. Script has been revised many times.
