The Rewrite

Darkly comic noir short, set in Hollywood in the late 1940s. A British screenwriter asks his estranged writing partner to read a letter that turns out to be a suicide note. But tempers flare and old wounds re-surface when the estranged partner insists on a major rewrite.

Directed by Ken Aguado, The Rewrite leans on a strong ensemble — Chris Geere, Chris Webster — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2023.
