Embedded Files
In 1998, a truck-driving rural father threw out his teenage son for being gay. He later learns the boy may have been the victim of a serial killer preying on boys of the streets of Hollywood. Desperate and guilt-ridden, he must find his son, entering the abyss of street life in Hollywood, not even knowing if the boy is dead or alive.
THIS AIN’T TINSELTOWN.
Powerful, entertaining stories have always been a tool for helping shape better cultural values.
THE TWINK MURDERS is such a story. Entertaining and powerful.

“Michael’s script is one of the best I’ve read in a very long time.” ~ Mark Lipsky, former Miramax executive
“We feel that your script is already one of the best specs out there. The screenplay certainly works.” ~ LGBTQ+ Toronto Film Festival
“This script could really attract some great actor and director talent. In the way of MILK, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, and other mainstream gay films, this could become a culturally important and commercially successful film.” ~ THE BLACKLIST review
“The protagonist’s journey from homophobic to an ally is rendered with nuance and emotional resonance, as are the lives of the marginalized individuals around him.” ~ SLATED review
