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.

Dark Comedy Shines a light on Discrimination of Women and LBGTQ Community

  

Kaleidoscope Film and Television announces the development of the dark-comedy feature film, Completely Loyal to Me. Set in the 1950s, it depicts a time when people had to hide who they were to be accepted and safe. But that wasn't easy. McCarthyism made it difficult to keep secrets Neighbors spying on each other became the norm. Those who were different, even in private, were ostracized, especially women and the LBGTQ community.

More than just a dark comedy, Completely Loyal to Me will take the audiences on a wild ride of plot twists and turns which will end in a very unexpected place. As in Family Plot and Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf, the two couples plot and scheme only to learn that even the best-laid plans can still go awry, especially when the person they believe to be an ally has an agenda of his own. Much like the surprise endings of Deathtrap and Honey Pot, the audience will be kept guessing until the final moment when the double doors close. Unlike most in the genre, greed is only a façade. The true motivations are revenge for a love unjustly stolen and societal pressures, which force people to conform.

Margaret and George were a team, who used their considerable charms to romance others out of their fortunes. Margaret marries Samuel to inherit his millions only to learn after his “untimely” death that the terms of his will have bound her to the estate and Samuel's manservant, William James. Changing their strategy, Margaret and George married. Instead of traveling the world to find new marks, they use the mansion to lure. them into their web. William James reluctantly agrees to help. When he meets Lennetta and Gary, William James realized that he has found who he had been seeking. Manipulating the meeting of the couples, he moves forward with each believing that he is their ally. It is only when their cons come to fruition that they realize he has another agenda.

Filmed in the Sacramento California area, Completely Loyal to Me will entertain, but it will also act as a reminder of the consequences of discrimination. By holding up a mirror and reflecting the true image of the decade, Completely Loyal to Me will help prevent those behaviors from once again becoming the norm. Currently, the production team is looking for funding to produce and distribute Completely Loyal to Me.

Kaleidoscope Film and Television is a new film and television production studio that will be producing projects based on age, gender, and ethnic diversity.

Its creator and motivating force, Theresa Chaze started working in film and television in the mid-1980s at a small independent TV station. Moving to Traverse City, she worked at an ABC affiliate as a writer, producer, editor, and director. In the early 1990s, she was hired as a ghostwriter for two feature films and two shorts. Additionally, she worked on several independent films as part of the crew and as a producer. On the third project, she learned things about the production team that forced her to walk away from the industry. About ten years ago, she started the slow journey back only to find that starting a career as a writer and producer is easier than restarting one.
