'Selma' Inspired Indie Filmmaker Determined to Get His Films Made

PASADENA, Calif. - March 8, 2015 - PRLog -- "Emily Ann Rideout, 22, will do anything to protect her 16 year- old sister from a known predator. One dark night in MIdland Texas, after tracking him along I-20 through Abilene, Texas she proves it."

Ask any aspiring filmmaker, and he or she will tell you that next to turning coal into gold nuggets, one of the most difficult things to do is get past Hollywood gatekeepers. This is sometimes true of Hollywood icons. Even 'Star Wars' George Lucas, Stephen Spielberg, Kevin Costner, and others have faced obstacles.

So just what's an unknown fillmaker to do? Write a damn good story, prepare, and do it! That's exactly what Gene Cartwright is doing. Cartwright has a wealth of screenplays and novels, as even a brief visit to his web sites show.

Cartwright's immediate project, is getting his short film, "The Confessions of Emily" made.

The Story: See Film Short Trailer.
In upper North Central Texas, along I-20, 16 year-old Amy Jo Rideout has gone missing—believed kidnapped by 46 year-old Tommy Lee Raymond—a shiftless, worthless, mother-moocher. Word is, Ol' Tommy Lee is headed west, past Abilene, and towards Midland and beyond.

Emily Ann,  Amy Jo's sister and guardian, convinced Tommy Lee was responsible for the murder of her late mother—his former girlfriend, "acquires" a car, and gives chase.

May God be with Tommy Lee.
