Get to know writer Rob Ingalls:

1. What is your screenplay about? 

It’s about a famous comedy actor, Will Ferrell, but with a major twist where his real life is just as crazy, if not more so, than his persona on screen. Tons of Will Ferrell clones were created years ago due to a mix-up of a special baby formula. Most clones were shipped off to another country except for one, who searches the world over to find his long-lost “sperm brother” Will Ferrell.

2. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? 

It’s funny as hell.

Horror feast.

PROSECUTOR/CHANG – Devin Upham
WHITE QUEEN – Lauren Toffan

Get to know writer Christiaan Alexander Kutlik:

1. What is your screenplay about?

Besides the super-hero aspect, what Vincent Locke: Villain-At-Law is about is average people trying to make their own mark in world where everyone else seems extraordinary.

2. Why should this screenplay be made into a TV show?

There’s a real richness to the world I have created that can be explored only on TV: it plays on a ton of super-hero tropes, these characters have complex emotions towards the world they inhabit, and I have envisioned numerous stories and changes to put these characters through.

3. This story has a lot going for it. How would…
