Scene 1: Boston Nightly walks down the street toward the bailbonds office to get his final paycheck before retiring to a lazy life living near the beach.
"Contrary to what anybody in this world might tell you--dying hurts like hell. Even though every licensed croaker with a couple of capital letters behind their last name feels obligated to tell the nearly departed's family that death is a peaceful experience--I'm warning you straight up: Don't eat that cheese. And how would I know? Maybe it's because in the last year alone I've died nine times."
BAM! Out of nowhere bullets fly and LONG TERM PARKING begins.

Three Years of Planning to Make this Movie
Adapted from Mike Kearby's outrageously funny novel LONG TERM PARKING, we're bringing the characters of Boston Nightly, Marlene, Tony Carlucci, Chel, Gallo and the whole mobster clan to life! This is not an animated film - it's a real live action movie - starring some brilliant up-and-coming actors we'll be seeing a lot of in future years. Fortunately we can get them now before they're famous and won't take my phone calls.
We film in Austin, Texas starting Monday after Thanksgiving.
This movie is fun.
- Will making this movie end world hunger? No.
- Will it end all war? No.
- Will it cajole your boss into giving you a raise? Depends on your boss. Some bosses have no sense of humor.
I've made seven movies about social issues, injustice, government malfeasance, living in poverty.
It's time we all get a break.
LONG TERM PARKING is damn funny. It's outrageous.
Boston Nightly is the kind of guy we all wish we could be. Here's a guy who thought he was finally finished fighting the battles of the world and then he lands in heaven with a whole new list of enemies to knock off. And he does it with style, with grace, with dogged determinism, with canine cunning, with furrocious fortitude.
Did I mention he was crossed with a dog when he was sent to heaven?

You, Me and Our Sense of Humor
If you're like me, you've looked through your DVD collection and scanned the movie list on Netflix a hundred times looking for something funny to watch to forget about the world for a couple hours.
And there's just not a lot of really funny movies being made anymore that don't insult our intelligence.
When I was asked to adapt Mike Kearby's novel I knew immediately this is going to be a great movie. A comfort film. The movie I'm going to watch a hundred times and still laugh every time I see it.
I'm counting on you because I know you need this movie as much as I do.
Open your guest bedroom in Austin for a cast member, plan to cook a meal for the film, mark your calendar for the film's release in April, donate money, share the Facebook.com/LongTermParkingMovie page, reach out and touch me at LongTermParkingMovie.com.
I promise to touch you back.
Please help.
