By: Team Awesome films winning sitcom’s 4th season, Katrina Bowden of NBC’s 30 Rock has inked a deal with Team Awesome Films to star in their first feature, an adaptation of the play “A True Story. Based on things that never actually happened. …and some that did.” Bowden took part in a series of workshop readings before the screenplay was optioned by TAF. Malcolm Goodwin wears several hats as co-star, director and producer. Goodwin has a string of films under his belt including American Gangster, Leatherheads, and the upcoming Tim Allen release Crazy on the Outside. Word from the costume designer is that he will actually wear several actual hats during the film as well. “Back in New York I produced a ton of shorts and music videos, and I’ve been itching to direct a feature. This script really spoke to me, it’s real. And it’s funny!” said Goodwin, who also took part in the first staged reading of the play in New York. “This isn’t just the play on screen. This is it’s own movie, and it’s good. I’m hyped.” A True Story tells the story of Mike and Matt, two struggling writers who own nothing and share everything, including their life’s work, a screenplay which seems to be their only escape from the harsh realities of an anonymous Hollywood life. Bowden will play Deanna, Mike's heartless ex-girlfriend who once again sticks a passion wrench in the spokes of his life bike just as the boys face the toughest decision of their lives. Hollywood is just the back drop of this moving and hilarious film about friendship, greed, and slutty ex-girlfriends. Also in the cast is Jon Gries, Kelen Coleman and Keith Loneker. Cameron Fife and Tyler McGee, who penned both play and screenplay, and will star as well. Principle photography begins May 1st and will be shot in and around the Los Angeles area. Based out of San Francisco, Team Awesome Films was formed to produce A True Story, and several future projects are in development. Brandy Jones with NYABIS Productions is also producing.
