matthewtoffolo's avatarMatthew Toffolo's Summary

Matthew Toffolo: What is your screenplay about?

Al Cool: MIRACLE COVE is about a college student in need of money who takes a dangerous job logging the forest, where betraying who he is may be his only chance to survive. But on a deeper personal level, it’s about a Tom’s struggle to overcome his being an adult child of an alcoholic; on the community level, it’s about dwindling resources affecting everyone in a small rainforest town dependent on logging; on the global level, it is about the exploitation of a rainforest and how that destruction destroys humanity.

matthewtoffolo's avatarMatthew Toffolo's Summary

Matthew Toffolo: What is your screenplay about?

Everett Moss: This story is about a Kurdish refugee that thinks he can earn the approval/praise/love of others by outworking everyone around him. This mentality was instilled in him as a young orphan and followed him to America – when he got adopted. Ultimately, he realizes that he doesn’t need to be “the best” in order to be loved and accepted.

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

Drama. Coming of Age.

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

I think it gives a unique voice to a people group that isn’t often represented (the Kurds). It also tackles some big identity issues that young people face on a daily basis.

4. How would you describe this script in two words?

Heartfelt, and bittersweet.

5. What movie have you seen the most times in your life?
