Synopsis

THE STORY: Locked in an office by an unseen producer, Hollywood veteran Manny McCain takes on the assignment of his life: to shape the sloppy opus of a gifted, guileless young writer into the next great crime noir.

When Max and Thomas, two career criminals arrive, all hell breaks loose.

A reckless comedy, a satire and a valentine, a drama of fathers and sons, and a collision between the real world and the world of our imaginings, GIZMO LOVE is like nothing you've seen before.

Press Reviews

"When people think of Hollywood's mad side, most have visions of the ego-driven maniacs or burned-out has-beens that appear in films such as Sunset Boulevard or The Player. But few probably imagine anything like the world of GIZMO LOVE. Brutally dark, yet guffaw-inducingly funny…utterly compelling.“ —Edinburgh Evening News (Scotland).   ”It twists and turns, intrigues, engages, confounds, amuses, captivates, surprises—and if you don't keep your eye on the ball, will probably disappear around a corner in a flash of light, leaving you panting for breath, trying to catch up.“ —Independent (Scotland).   ”Buzzing with energy and relentlessly witty…brilliant.“ —Metro (UK).   ”Smart and ultimately very moving…brilliantly created…this is a pearl of entertainment.“ —List (UK).   ”Brilliantly written. Sort of Get Shorty meets Frankenstein. Must see."
