"The Sweetheart Deal"
a letter from the director
This original full length screenplay was initially produced as a short, released in 2016 featuring actress Sandy Penny as the lead. Upon completion, cast and crew agreed that making the full length feature would be a worthwhile endeavor. Work began in the summer of 2017 to complete this "no budget" feature length film. By December, the holiday schedule brought the production to a halt. Momentum to finish was lost, people got involved in other projects and The Sweetheart Deal sat on the shelf for seven months. A renewed commitment to finishing the film found it's own challenges. Not least of which, was the loss of our leading male actor, who would no longer be available, leaving key scenes unfinished. Scheduling conflicts caused the loss of another. Normally, this could put an end to any production but while considering the effort already spent by so many for so little, getting the film finished was the only option I would consider. So re-writing came into play to solve the missing scenes and this little romantic comedy became a strange kind of biography of the film itself. (There's something to be said for small independent projects because they can turn on a dime if need be.)
Production and post production are now complete. Thanks to all our supporters, cast, crew and venues for all you've done to help bring this movie to a television or hand held device near you before the end of 2019! Time to start number two but this time with a healthy budget.
