The Heist on Rhapsody Street
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: A "fan fiction" sequel to my favorite film. The exercise served as a release of my pent-up wishes and hopes for what might have "happened next" in that movie. It began a creative outburst that was surprising, yet somehow predicable, too, for composition was my favorite subject in my earliest years of elementary school. But somewhere between then and now, 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,... Go to bio
