Get to know the writer: 

 1. What is your screenplay about?

Trucker Chix teaches that when the past catches up to us and literally crashes into the present, you have to deal with it to move forward in life. The story brings out the complexities of personalities in a confined space. If one can survive a clastrophobic atmosphere with clashing temperments at 80 miles per hour you can overcome anything.

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

Drama and Comedy.

3. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

From the 1970’s Convoy, Smokey and The Bandit to B.J. and The Bear, people have always been fascinated with the trucking world. Today more than ever People have their passion raised once again with Ice Road Truckers. Everyone associates freedom with the highway. What they don’t see is the world of trucking has its own set of emotional issues as well as relationship problems, all being solved, resolved or diminished driving down that highway. Trucker Chix should be made to keep that passion alive in the hearts of the fans of the open road.
