FILM PRODUCED: This was a fun, short script written as part of the 72-Hour Film Challenge and aired at the Key West Film Festival!

SCRIPT COMPLETED: Tourist Town is a 30-minute pilot for an animated comedy TV series inspired by Key West. It follows a group of misfits living on Rooster Island who are tired of tourists and decide to take matters into their own hands without thinking of the consequences: they destroy the only bridge into the island!

The Tourist Town script was a semi-finalist in the Emerging Screenwriters Animation Screenwriting Competition and a finalist in Stage 32's New Voices in Animation Screenwriting Contest. 

The script takes a takes a lighthearted, zany approach to exploring the very real problem of over-tourism and how it destroys the fabric of a community.

The script stars Legless Lucy, the smuggler and one-legged pirate limo driver, Swordfish Bill, the Pacifist scrimshaw artist who lives on his houseboat as they fight Chester Chernbog, the developer dead set on turning the island into a luxury retreat.
