India Ennenga and Onata Aprile in Scout<br />
Kathleen Turner as Eileen in The Perfect Family<br />
The Perfect Family’s Cleary Family<br />
Featrure Article<br />
The Perfect Family boasts a star-studded<br />
cast: Kathleen Turner, Emily Deschanel,<br />
and Jason Ritter. Kathleen Turner was<br />
intrigued by the humor and complexity<br />
of the main character, Eileen Cleary, who<br />
struggles with the faults of her supposed<br />
perfect family, and was the first to sign on<br />
to the project. The film explores the preconceived<br />
ideals of family in our evolving<br />
culture, as well as current LGBT themes. It<br />
is a wonderful example of a dramatic and<br />
humorous film that started with an InkTip<br />
script listing and later found traction in the<br />
festival circuit and indie market.<br />
“I was thrilled to find InkTip,” Anne<br />
Renton stated. “I want to really thank<br />
InkTip for allowing me to be on the site<br />
and for the support in getting my script<br />
lead out to the writers. That was the seed<br />
to enable me to move forward with my<br />
first film project!”<br />
Another award-winning film found on<br />
InkTip is Scout, a coming-of-age indie<br />
film written and directed by Laurie Weltz<br />
and produced by Beverley A. Gordon<br />
with BrownBag Pictures. Scout won<br />
Official Selection of the 2015 Newport<br />
Beach Film Festival. When asked why<br />
writer/director Laurie Weltz utilized<br />
InkTip to market her script, she said, “I<br />
had put another project up on InkTip and<br />
had success with it, so I decided to do it<br />
again. I think it is a great vehicle for writers<br />
to get their work viewed by people<br />
who might not ordinarily see it.”<br />
Like Kathleen Turner’s interest in Eileen<br />
Cleary, it was the multi-dimensional<br />
character of Scout that attracted Beverley<br />
to the script, and the question of “what is<br />
family” that the script raises, which connected<br />
with Beverley’s ideal to produce<br />
moving, inspirational films.<br />
“While reading the screenplay I was<br />
inspired by the lead character Scout. She<br />
was a refreshingly smart, resourceful,<br />
desperate, and flawed female character<br />
whose development and journey I<br />
thought rose above being superficial and<br />
stereotypical. I thought her story was<br />
being told in a serious, yet still humorous<br />
way,” Beverley said.<br />
Operator, A Horse for Summer, The<br />
Perfect Family, and Scout are all contemporary<br />
films. Many times InkTip is asked<br />
if period pieces sell in Hollywood. Yes,<br />
they are harder to sell, to finance, and to<br />
distribute, but they are made – and made<br />
off of InkTip. Shadow on the Mesa is a<br />
western that was discovered on InkTip<br />
