Synopsis/Details:
A Fun Fantasy Caper Buddy Action etc. at a Modest-Budget
Just when you thought you had the present all worked out, the future comes along to screw it up!
Imagine a master thief's final big heist, accomplices who won't let him quit, and a time-travelling cop trying to solve the crime from two decades later. In what becomes a crazy cop-and-crook buddy story, the thief, wanting to become a reformed family man with a baby on the way, balances trying to outwit the cop against returning the loot. Meanwhile, the near-retirement, time-jumping investigator's chances to gather facts are quickly becoming limited by Statutes, even as he finds it hard to stay detached from the fates of those he meets in the past.
If you'd like to view the script or synopsis for this fun, surprisingly low-tech story, that fans of Lethal Weapon ought to enjoy, and that has two key male roles at 30ish and 55ish, I look forward to sending the PDF(s) to your attention.

The Writer: Steve Garry
I wrote my first screenplay in 2008, at the age of 52. It was a surprise, yet predicable too, for composition was my favorite subject in my earliest years of elementary school. But somewhere between the ages of 10 and 52, I must have felt that writing wasn't a serious or possibly an attainable career. My writing methodology is unique because I use many of the same skills I used for decades as a software programmer. The stories must be both "logical" and "bug free". Oh, and hopefully, thought-provoking, entertaining, suspenseful, or humorous, often in the same script, with captivating characters and story lines, especially given the complex themes I often take on in my work. From satire to... Go to bio
