      “Teen Angels,” my truth-based, edgy drama is available for
production, and I am seeking a Cleveland centric filmmaker with a vision
akin to my own with whom to collaborate. – (Afr. Am. or Hispanic, ages
25-35 with hip hop acumen and ease with Ebonics and *Spanglish* is a
definite plus.) If that wets your appetite, please contact me at
Joeybauer1967 at gmail.com, and I will forward the screenplay.

     With a mixed gender and culturally diverse cast of nine, a single set,
just one scene and a running time of 90 minutes, “Teen Angels” features a
barrage of in-your-face dialogue and pure provocation. Moviegoers,
particularly ages 16 – 30, are in store for lots of bang for their buck
with this one; it brazenly holds nothing sacred: family values, the law of
the land nor, especially, authority figures of all stripes.

     The story takes place in a day room at Los Angeles County Juvenile
Hall now and focuses on a very unique group therapy session, for which the
closest comparison is a no-rules-ultimate-fighting-cage-match, led by
social worker and aspiring millennial movie-cowboy, Mel Feinberg, 26,
self-described as “a wise ass on a short leash.”

     The posse consists of seven inmates, all of them age 17, awaiting
sentencing and quivering in a melodramatic display of mock fear of Dr.
Crabtree, Afr. Am., the facility’s director, staunch advocate of force
feeding her charges the gospel by any means necessary.

     As a side bar, we are drawn into the kids’ compelling histories of
victimization and mind-blowing mayhem through a succession of brutally
honest monologues. Their pain has a long shelf life, and it demands to be
felt. We cheer them on, as they fight the power with Mel by their side and
only the strong left standing.

     My other work includes the risqué memoir, *Hollywood Raw*, and “On the
Wall,” an urban drama, presented by L.A.’s Barnsdal Gallery Theatre. In
addition, “Hotel California,” my psychological thriller; “Hollywood
Cowboy,” my comedy; and “Cue the Sunset,” my Bronx tale - (all read at
Cleveland’s Ensemble Theatre) – put my stamp on a multitude of theater
patrons’ must-see lists. Apropos, a retrospective of my portfolio is
available on kindle – (Amazon and all other apps).

     I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your interest.



                                              Cheers,



                                            Joey Bauer
