Synopsis/Details: 

Dwight Plickens is a simple southern man. He likes his beer. He likes his card nights. And he don't care much for his wife and son. Once a year, as his form of atonement to demonstrate to a higher power, if there is one, Dwight forces his family to don their Sunday best and confess one sin. Well, this Confession Day, Dwight's 10-year-old son Tate takes matters into his own hands. This will be the last confession he ever gives. And the last confession Dwight Plickens ever hears.

The Writer: Zack Zupke
I am a Wisconsin-based writer. With a degree in journalism, news writing and editing gave me a superb foundation for my love of story and telling it via the written word. I have written several TV specs and two TV pilots along with several features. The three featured on this site: the "The Confession" was optioned by Little Flame Films July of 2021 and produced as "Confession Day." Watch the trailer !; "Brandy" is a sitcom pilot that has placed well in several contests; and the sci-fi/thriller feature "Battle Of Wills," which placed as a quarterfinalist on Stage 32. While I'm not a fan of Top Movie lists, I've found you can learn a lot about a person based on their faves. Cheers to... Go to bio
