Get to know the writers:

1. What is your screenplay about?

In a large sense, it’s about the end of an era in law enforcement and drug use. Through the lens of a pair of twins who, having been separated at birth, never knew each other. Though one seems better adjusted than the other, neither is happy in their relationship. One is connected to a drug kingpin (not violent), and the other is married to a local deputy sheriff. One is mistaken for the other, and their lives become entangled.
We are flirting with two Greek myths: Helen and Clytemnestra, as well as Jason and the Argonauts.

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

Comedy / Action / Stoner / LGBTQ+

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

This subject is being dealt with in the collective even as we speak. There is a back and forth, state by state, as we find our way to a new relationship with drugs.

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

Heartfelt slapstick.

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

Rick: Terminator, because it’s on all the time.

Ray: Monty Python’s The Holy Grail.

6. How long have you been working on this screenplay?

Off and on for four years.

7. How many stories have you written?

Together, we’ve written eight screenplays.

8. What is your favorite song? (Or, what song have you listened to the most times in your life?)

Rick’s Favorite: Get My Bearings by Joan as Police Woman (it’s a great Sagitarean message)

Ray’s Favorite: Brimful of Asha (Norman Cook Original Radio Edit Mix) by Cornershop

9. What obstacles did you face to finish this screenplay?

None. We can handle it.

10. Apart from writing, what else are you passionate about?

Rick: Music. Astrology. Film.

Ray: Food, Music, Travel, Photography, Snowboarding

11. You entered your screenplay via FilmFreeway. What has been your experiences working with the submission platform site?

Can’t recall.

12. What influenced you to enter the festival? What were your feelings on the initial feedback you received?

We were impressed at the effort put in by our reader, striving to understand the details of the story and the characters. I think she expects to find plot holes in most of the scripts that she reads. In our case, the script does get quite intricate, and there were, in fact, a couple of things that she had missed, but still, the feedback was much appreciated. It’s amazing that when we talked to her during the Zoom conference, she really had the entire script in her head.
