(Development)

Based on the novel by iconic ‘Grit Lit’ Southern Gothic novelist Harry Crews. Co-written by Academy-Award winning screenwriter Terry Southern.

LOGLINE: The reluctant heir to a Georgia auto salvage yard becomes a global phenomenon as he eats his mother’s ’72 Ford Maverick -- ounce by ounce -- onstage nightly. As his act becomes a source of profit and exploitation for his oddball family, this naïve dreamer discovers not only the deep, unresolved trauma behind his life threatening stunt, but also a life-changing opportunity to embrace the possibilities of love.
