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 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 it to your attention.

I am an incorporated businessperson, and I operate as Integer Entertainment. I'm 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', I'm just as likely to be seeking producers/talent/investors to collaborate with as a co-producer, wherein I'd be bringing my screenplay as well as package elements and maybe even some money 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 in mind. Flexibility, creativity and unconventional collaborations are... Go to bio
