“THE WEDDING VIDEO” SCREENPLAY
Everyone loves a wedding.
You don’t want to read something dry and droll. You want to read something smart and funny. Something you can laugh out loud to.
“The Wedding Video” melts the most subversive comedies ever written into one manic concoction of love and lust. Peopled with wannabe mafiosi, this intriguing farce pits a young man on the rise against the don who wants to bed his fiancé on their wedding day.
One mistaken identity after another. Switchbacks, fallbacks and fall guys. Half turns and half wits. Double and triple entendres. All in the space of one mad day.
“The Wedding Video” is a riotous comedy screenplay. It’s a sparkling, dizzying take on tripping up the ruling elite.
Will young Figaro get one up on the bombastic Don Almaviva?
‘I think screenplays are the literature of the future. We all live our lives increasingly through screens, so why don’t we write for the screen. For “The Wedding Video” I developed a screenplay style beyond the current American model. It’s a mix of English, Italian, and Japanese, with a dash of the early silents and newsreels. It simplifies the technical parameters so it’s easier for you to read. A lot easier. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it.’ Stefano Boscutti
