Synopsis/Details
Martin Edgewood has just completed his book, “The Railway Murderer”, leaving only one survivor, Lollie Featherton, who barely escapes his murderous antagonist. After celebrating with his dog, he turns in for the night only to be awakened by handsy cops who say they’re dragging him in for murder. Court is a madhouse, his attorney is a bumbling fool who mispronounces his name and points to his pregnant wife who’s in labor in the gallery as an excuse for his dishevelment. But when the prosecutor begins questioning him about his suspicious search history online and real-life Lollie comes up to testify against him, Martin realizes that he could possibly be convicted of all the crimes against characters he made up.

The Writer: Brandi Self

Produced, Award-Winning Screenwriter I create surreal, carefully constructed stories that dissect love, morality, oppression, identity, perception, alienation, and stagnation by catapulting characters into sometimes absurdly juxtaposed worlds where they must use self-examination as a tool for escape and redemption. 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
