Pretty much, this is a new hello… I'm an actor, a playwright and a screenwriter, and I got a script ( actually a few) that needs to be produced … help!

hi, I figured that might get some people reading my post…   pretty much I have a feature length script, which was adapted from a play i wrote now 2 decades ago,  I recently had a new reading of the NY Int'l fridge Festival version (slightly updated from the first produced production) and thanks to the reading , I am now updating a sequence,  not that the sequence is necessary… but…  

The script, 'What's wrong with this picture? I'm in it? Is a comedic look back at my misadventures with the ladies, my parents. The update would  give the center a nice emotional kick ( my fathers passing, when I wrote the play, I wasn't emotionally ready to write it, let alone perform it. The original idea was to make this a one person vehicle for myself, but it almost immediately turned into a full multi character production.) Funnily, I've aged out of the part… 

But IMHO this film could be a real showcase for a talented actor, or 2, and 8 amazing actresses. or is that 10? Basically answering the question I still get to this day,  so you've never been married? 

And for those interested currently both productions of the play is available to watch on my Youtube channel, so you could get a real idea what the script is about, before you see the film adaptation.

So, I'm sending this out, in hopes to get a few connections or some good suggestions , or maybe that dream come true… getting my 126 page script, into the right hands that may finally get it seen, read, and hopefully eventually filmed and released. 

Of note: I do not have a few other things, including a short script, showcasing the night I actually met Andy Warhol after a Hall & Oates contest… … if any one would like to discuss that too…

Thanks in advance,

Neil Feigeles
