SYNOPSIS:

How would you like to party from one end of the world to the other while your clone does all the hard work of actually being you? You’d jump at a deal like that? Well, so does the hero of “MY CLONE”. (Sure, there have been a couple of past comedies with cloning as the premise. But the subject was never fully milked. Never flamboyantly danced with. Never executed with this kind of all -guns-blazing comedic audacity.) In a nutshell, “MY CLONE” is a comedy about a geneticist who --- while trying to clone a duck --- accidentally creates his own clone. At his clone’s urging. The geneticist agrees to let the clone take over both his marriage and career. Strictly as a scientific experiment of course. The geneticist himself secretly runs off and parties around the world. That’s just for openers. A year later, our hero returns and wants his identity back. Well, good luck. The clone is now a year smarter and has created a quantum leap of his own. To add insult to injury, the clone has also made a staggering mess of our hero’s personal life. Cheated repeatedly. Needless to say, the clone absolutely refuses to switch places. How does our hero outwit his smarter biogenetic duplicate? How does he disentangle himself from all the women his clone has recklessly become entangled with? And how does he keep his wife from discovering that for a year she’s been sleeping with one of his experiments? And what’s more --- an experiment that got her pregnant? You’ll have to find out yourself. But I’ll give you a clue. We’re in the realm of advanced 21st century cloning. Which means our hero also has the power to isolate specific features. For instance, he can clone any brains he chooses. The brains of any man. The brains of any woman. Even the brains of any beast. A quick word about myself, Hans Kracauer. As I said, I’m a member of the WGA. Before serving time in Hollywood (primarily writing TV sitcoms) I was in advertising. Specifically, as a copywriter. And then as head of my own acclaimed ad agency. (The Idea Factory.) I’ve written ad campaigns at some of the top ad agencies in New York … and have won countless awards for my TV commercials. More recently, I’ve also been writing feature screenplays. Always comedies. Audacious, smart. mercilessly funny comedies. And one cutting edge TV pilot. Want to learn more?
