A man describes the strange and often inexplicable events that happened to himself and his autistic brother over the course of their traumatic lives.

SYNOPSIS:

*BEEP* is my recently rewritten supernatural story based on I and my autistic brother's life growing up in a place that would later be called "The Murder Zone" by the news media. The story has a "ghostly" flair to it as the coming-of-age story transforms into a thriller. The novella (which is called Boy: A Story Based On True Events) has a 90 plus page script I wrote that takes place in Chicago, IL, Milwaukee, WI, and various parts of NJ from the 70s through the 90s. There is also a catch! In the script (which uses extremely harsh/politically incorrect language that I “beep”) my brother and I are mentioned anonymously as Man and Boy with a fictive counselor listening to our life story. By the end of the story the counselor becomes the focal point; a central character realizing that he is actually alone and has been talking to himself the whole time... Sort of the 3 men really being one idea which is not in the novella but adds a twist to the script! The script has recently won a first-place award in The SIFF (Swedish International Film Festival)
