The BUCK-NAKED Story
September 16, 2024
September 16, 2024
So here we are about to get things going into actual production, very exciting. The narrative story was written about a year ago, well, actually completed with a set of actual readings with great actors then modifications to really hone the tale.
Why tell a story about middle-aged, gay, people struggling in relationships you ask? First of all there are, believe it or not, actual middle-aged, gay people struggling in relationships in real life... happens, it really does.
Everyone wants to be loved, give love but sometimes we get in our own way and in the cases of the Flaming Match characters, getting in their own way of their relationships is a high art. The story is a romantic comedy but is very rooted in truth and the fact that if you're a human being you have a heart (even the ones who protect it) and connection matters. So it was all that ball-of-wax we took a fun 5 minute improv short and wrote a actual narrative exploring the reality of such characters and we are excited to tell this story on the big (and mobile) screen.
