Title: The Slippery Ladder
Genre: Comedy
Logline:
A middle-aged man reinvents himself when his fourteen-year career tanks in a miserable twenty-four hours.
Synopsis:
Ethan Spencer strives to be a power broker, but his big break turns nightmarish when a client chooses luxury cars over stocks and a Playstation over bonds.
Devastated, he takes the rest of the day off only to return the next morning to an even worse nightmare, his financial firm suffers its last blows and is forced to close its doors.
Unable to find equal employment, Ethan spots opportunity in a new field, but it’s masked behind a minimum wage internship position. Desperately in need of reinventing himself, Ethan accepts the low-paying position much to the dislike of his wife Ava who, once again, is forced to take a back seat to her husband’s newly acquired ambition.
Now a fish out of water, Ethan finds new meaning to the term “starting from the ground floor†as he struggles with the unfamiliar politics of his new career, film production.
We journey with Ethan as he deals with having forty-year old knowledge, twenty seven year old looks, bad knees, sore feet, bosses half his age, and a three month deadline to make it all work before his wife’s patience, and his finances, spiral out of control.
Gary Wright, a Nicholl semi-finalist and award winning playwright and journalist comments: “This is something that always surprises me - a heartwarming movie about the film industry. And what makes it work is your characters - especially Ethan and Ava - what a wonderful pair!â€.
