RED CARthe gay version of NOTTING HILL SCREENPLAY JUDGE'S COMMENTS: “There’s such a cool, passionate force to this story.” “This is the type of small indie that – when cast and marketed correctly – gets all those accolades that tip people toward great things.” The characters are also meaty enough to attract heavy hitters to play them and it would be relatively inexpensive to make, baring a couple cameos that might be easy or difficult to arrange.” I think getting a little glimpse of the atmosphere and characters here will help sell this great wackiness. I also think that people would go gaga over this type of unhygienic, imperfect romance. JUSTINSWINGLE.com |
