Story:
Our protagonist is a young, modern-day girl. The dilemma is that her filmmaker grandfather has just died, leaving behind a large sum of money that the family is not sure how to divide. The spectacle is a conspicuous reel of old film that transports our protagonist into a silent film made in the year 1927, where the events strikingly mirror those occurring in her own life.
This film is a comedy, but events within it are largely based on the film noir genre.
What We're Looking For:
The majority of the film will be black-and-white, and silent. We are looking for actors who can work well without sound. Humor is encouraged.
