[NEohioPAL] ATT. FILMMAKERS

[Joseph Bauer via NEohioPAL]

      “Teen Angels,” my truth-based, edgy drama is available for
production, and I am seeking a filmmaker with a vision akin to my own with
whom to collaborate as equal partners. – (age 25-35 with hip hop acumen and
ease with Ebonics and Spanish is a 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. In essence, it’s
“The Breakfast Club” redux and on steroids. Moviegoers, particularly ages
16 –  26, are in store for lots of bang for their buck with this one; it
brazenly holds absolutely nothing whatsoever 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 ‘50’s movie-cowboys aficionado , 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 fearless Mel out front
and only the strong left standing.

     My other work includes the 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
Amazon kindle.

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



                                              Cheers,



                                            Joey Bauer
