Los Angeles. A cemetery. Two funeral directors-first responders of the heart, if you will. Stories were told. War stories. Scary stories. Stories that would make even Stephen King types lock their doors. Emotional stories that would break your heart. Stories that might even make you smile.
The big reveal: One of the funeral directors is also a comedy screenwriter. In a moment of inspiration, Tombstones: RIP, the Screenplay was born. Denny Dormody, Screen Actors Guild actor and author of Confessions...of an L.A. Funeral Director, never runs out of Hollywood and life stories to tell.
California funeral director Ralph Torres and his team invented and pioneered a personal approach to family services. When corporate funeral conglomerates said no to personality funerals, independent, mom-and-pop funeral director Ralph Torres said yes. Families rule!
His favorite story? He once buried a man in his car-a classic 1957 Chevy Bel Air. True story.
It is all here: stories from the heart and stories you will never forget. Within these stories, modern issues are explored, including loss, recovery, and even school bullying. Presented in standard screenplay format, this is a page-turner.
Indie movie producers call this a green light-a go-project and a Hollywood shooting script!
