Anything Goes : "The Secret Life of Smitty"! by Kevin Cooper

Invite to First Ever Sxcreenwiter "Free Love Fest"! Now that I have your attention allow me to reintroduce.... Picture “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” meets “Risky Business”. Grandiose writer extraordinaire and William “Walter” Smith (aka “Smitty to his friends) embarks on a comfortable week long getaway house sitting for his Army buddy in hopes of creating the greatest cinematic screenplay in history. Already lauded for his breakthrough novel on inner-city psychosis sixteen years earlier, Walter craves a triumphant return to the “bright lights”and all the acclaim it has to offer. However the “gift” that once embraced our author is reluctant to return and leaves poor Walter virtually penniless with no where to hang his oversized hat! Determined and with less than no option ,Walter grudgingly sets aside his views against interracial coupling and arrives at the home of Byron, his European wife Nadia and their two children armed with fresh ideas and and a “new vision”. After a night of one-sided unbelievable truth stretching success stories by our author to his now skeptical audience an unaware confident Walter tearfully confides to kind heart Byron his true appreciation for this much needed time away. Byron persuades his less naïve wife that their house sitter intentions are real and favorable. They depart that morning leaving behind their home, their blessing and some money to our would be upcoming prominent screenwriter. Oh Happy Happy Joy Joy all is right in the world? Handcuff yourself as our pro.....err okay protagonist takes you on a journey through is “mazed” mind and connects cinematic treasures such as “Sunset Boulevard”, “Twelve Angry Men” and “Looking for Mr. Goodbar” along with high profile cases which include Elizabeth Short (“The Black Dahlia) The Clutter Family, Kitty Genovese and Mumia Abu-Jamal all into one conceptual thought?? Ever wonder what getting hit by a bus going 20 miles an hour felt like? Just wanted to make sure you was still awake. All which leads to the jaw-dropping conclusion that we possibly never saw coming. 88 minute 88 second....(I know but I love even numbers) that will be talked about throughout film festivals finally culminating to the big screen. Looking to start immediately so "hmu" soon as possible. Coop
