Interview with Screenwriter Arthur Tiersky (WE ARE ALL DEAD)

matthewtoffolo's avatarMatthew Toffolo's Summary

1. What is your screenplay about?

It’s based on a terrific novella by Bruno Fischer. It’s about an icy professional crook, a typical noir protagonist, who is recruited by his old friend for a heist that goes very wrong when the young getaway driver is killed. His widow comes to collect his share of the money, and both our hero and his old friend quickly fall for her. Meanwhile, the police are hot on their trail, and the other gang members start mysteriously dying one by one. So it’s part love triangle, part heist flick, and part murder mystery.

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

It’s pure classic noir. Ideally, it gets made as a letter-perfect imitation of the classics from the ’40s and ’50s, in black and white, the whole deal.

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

Noir is such a great lost…

Interview with Screenwriter Stephonika W. Kaye (REGENESIS)

matthewtoffolo's avatarMatthew Toffolo's Summary

1. What is your screenplay about?

Regenesis follows two main characters: Miranda and Atlas, who are set against this futuristic backdrop of a withering galaxy. Miranda is on a mission of revenge to kill the man responsible for all the trauma she’s endured over the last few years. Atlas presents as just some wanderer in the wastes, but really he’s carrying cargo that could save the lives of billions. Ultimately, it becomes a decision for Miranda on whether or not to help him and find some redemption in that.

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

Definitely a sci-fi drama. As a short it’s more low-fi as well. It has some action/adventure elements as well but is much more a character driven conversation piece.

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

Since writing the short, I’ve also been playing with ideas in developing it either into…

Interview with Screenwriter Julian David Hoxter (TRAMPS LIKE US)

matthewtoffolo's avatarMatthew Toffolo's Summary

1. What is your screenplay about?

Tramps Like Us follows the eccentric and diverse crew of the Tramp Steamer Stella Maris as they encounter supernatural and monstrous adventures in the “East Indies” of the 1930s. As much about the price of colonialism and the evil of men as it is about the monstrous other, Tramps Like Us is also a very contemporary story in the costume of genre and period.

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

Character driven horror and adventure.

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

Well, it’s a pilot script, but it could certainly be expanded into a great retro monster movie with a wonderful twist.

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

I’m cheating but think of it like Firefly meets The Long Voyage Home in The Most Dangerous Game on The Island of Dr Moreau. Fine, in…
