VANITY DRIVE © 2007
an original screenplay by Ed Bishop and Sarah Elizabeth Mason
Vanity Drive is an ill-conceived dark comedy bastard grand-child of Sunset Blvd. Stay tuned as it develops.

Vanity Drive, the story of a struggling writer, an aging movie star, and an industry on the verge of collapse under the weight of its own self-importance. But that’s just the funny part.

Aspiring writer/director Eric Margolis wants fame. Almost-has-been actress Fawny Hale wants fame back. When their worlds collide by happenstance, they find commonality in their vain pursuits. The dynamic status seeking duo begin working together on a movie project that's sure to entice Hollywood's buzz brigade. They soon discover that the Hollywood they strive to conquer has been rendered impotent by a dark, looming foe...Technology. And she's a real bitch.

I know your face. You're Norma Desmond.
You used to be in pictures. You used to be big.
NORMA
I am big. It's the pictures that got small.
