What happens when you mix suspense of Hitchcock with the slapstick of the Keystone Cops?

 






When it is impossible to be who you are, you become someone you are not.  This is the core element of Completely Loyal to Me.  The 1950s was a time of McCarthyism, segregation, and discrimination.  People spied on each other, making it nearly impossible for a person to be their true selves even in private.  When a person is forced to pretend to be someone they are not, they become vulnerable to others and their own dark impulses.  However, the era was especially hazardous for women and the LBGTQ community. Women were considered property with little to no rights. To have any power in their lives, women had no choice but to lie and manipulate. Thought of as deviants, who were threats to society, gays were brutalized and murdered.  To save themselves, both needed to hide their true selves or risk becoming social outcasts or victims of violence.

Completely Loyal to me is a dark comedy feature film with the suspense of Hitchcock and the slapstick of the Keystone Cops. It is comparable to Family Plot, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Deathtrap, and Honey Pot.  Its primary goal is to entertain.  However, it will also serve as a reminder of what life was really like in the 1950s. 

Samuel and William James were twin flames who loved each other and were very happy until the rumors and grumblings started about their relationship.  Margaret was the mastermind behind her and George’s cons. They traveled the world romancing others out of fortunes. Samuel married Margaret to shield his relationship with William James.  She accepted, believing that he, like the others, would be an easy mark.  When Margaret’s business acumen started the rumors that she wore the pants in the family, Samuel looked for a way to put her back in her place.  He couldn’t let her go without exposing his secret.  Instead, he tried to force George to leave. It was the mistake that cost him his life. Yet, even in death, Samuel continued to control Margaret.  The terms of his will bound her to the estate and William James.  Heartbroken, Williams James was forced to stay silent.  He couldn’t expose the murder without their relationship being revealed. Stuck with each other, they agree to work together.  When William James meets Lennette and Gary, he sees a way to free himself and get revenge.




 

We are looking for investors. We have started negotiations with a distributor, but nothing has been made official. Additionally, we are looking to product place a soda and beer that was available in the 1950s and today. Each will be mentioned by name at least twice, have at least 20 seconds of screen time, and have one of their 30-second retro-commercials aired in their entirety. We would also like to place a radio station with the same parameters. Its call letters will be mentioned on-screen at least twice. 

 

If you believe that women have equal rights, support the LBGTQ community, or if you just think that many people need to learn how to mind their own business, please support our efforts to bring Completely Loyal to Me to the screens of the country and the world.
