LOGLINE

When up-and-coming film critic Vince Travis reveals his distaste for Hitchcock's iconic "shower scene", he becomes a pariah on the run, while simultaneously searching within his foggy memories of childhood to determine if his opinions are indeed wrong, or if ultimately, he should stick to his guns.

VIDEO PITCH

Hey, Shannon!

In what has become a tradition in many of my scripts, I have a character named "Shannon" somewhere in the mix.  In The Shower Scene, Shannon Janssen is a high profile film critic on a panel for a screening of Hitchcock's Psycho.
