Patrick
Garot
left the strategy department of Philip Morris in 1996 to become
a writer. After his first novel was shopped around Manhattan
(unsuccessfully), Pat decided to write screenplays.
Five years
later, his first feature is entering production. Co-written
with Danish director Rune Bendixen, Making Fabulous
is about two young L.A. twins who pawn all they own to shoot
a "making of" video. But when they get to the set,
they're astounded to learn that the underlying film, a new
version of Shakespearešs Hamlet, is cast with a group of aging
porno stars!
Undeterred,
the twins sabotage production, figuring that comedic foul-ups
might sell their video to a bloopers show. But when the film's
director dies in an accident the twins kind of caused, our
kids step up...and make Fabulous a beautiful, legit
Hamlet that enriches the cast, and themselves.
