Synopsis/Details
"Runs Like a Gazelle" is a fictional story in the vein of "Rocky" or "The Karate Kid", but without the fights, and with a cute romance. The sport in question is the 100 meter sprint. Oh, and you might as well throw in a little bit of "It's a Wonderful Life", because one of the underlying themes is "volunteerism" and strangers who offer a helping hand. I think it's about time a movie was made about those amazing people, don't you?! Certainly, my protagonist, Donnie Lopez - for all the effort he puts out and all the troubles he surmounts - wouldn't get too far without a little help! If you'd like to view this fun and uplifting modestly-budgeted 4-quad story, which has a wide assortment of characters to broaden its appeal, I look forward to sending it to you.

The Writer: Steve Garry

I'm an incorporated businessperson, operating as Integer Entertainment, who's actively pursuing attachments for my smaller scale projects before I work my way up. While the status of my scripts here may read 'For Sale', for all but the blockbuster-sized budget titles I'm more likely to be seeking producers, talent and investor collaborators, as a co-producer or EP, wherein I'd bring my screenplay as well as a finance plan, budget, shooting schedule, package elements, and some funding to the table. In addition, with a decade of pitching behind me and being read hundreds of times, I may have connections to enhance the resources that you have available. Don't hesitate to approach me with this… Go to bio
