Unsolicited Submission - Deleted (The Trailer)

Every day an aspiring writer sends me an Unsolicited Submission, and sadly most of them are bad.  Recently I received one so horribly written, I have decided to start making the worst into trailers.

That said, this was the email I received:

ALEX is diagnosed with a strange allergy since he was six years old. Whenever someone he cares for leaves him, he’ll get a rash, and sure enough, everybody he cares for leaves him. Misguided by his alcoholic grandfather, MURPHY, Alex believes he’s allergic to love and other people. In order to de-rash himself, he reprograms his world with only imaginary friends, good and evil.

When Murphy finally wakes up from his hangover, a decade has gone by. He blames vodka for turning his grandson into a loner and gets an idea that’s even more alcoholic: hiring three roommates to keep Alex company before he moves to heaven in a room with no view.  Life suddenly spins with fun, maybe too much fun, especially when Alex realizes he’s incurably falling for JOJO, the quirky girl who gave herself a love vaccine when she was eleven years old. But instead of fighting the unwanted love, they decide to nib it in the bud creatively: over-do it, and get over it, hopefully, with no pain.

My latest screenplay, DELETED, is a whimsical romantic comedy celebrating a hero’s journey of running away from love, yet along the way, he finds courage, freedom, sneakers and ultimately, the true meaning of love and what it is to be human.

 And now, my trailer for DELETED...
