OVERDUE

A “Overdue Productions” FILM
WRITTEN BY Peter Tonks and friends

Jere and Rans are your typical 20 something males. They live in a shabby flat, have nothing to aspire to, but they do have a killer DVD collection. Itʼs just their collection was due back at the video store months ago.

Down at the local video store, Vid-World, the Manager is cracking down on missing DVDs and overdue fees. He starts with Mr. Pink and Mr. Black, the stores two biggest offenders. Placing a wanted poster instore clearly implicating Jere and Rans.

Three heavies, Tree, Snake and Dumptruck turn up to the video store with a business
proposition involving suspicious white powder, the Manager takes the opportunity to use them as his debt collectors and sends them after Mr Pink and Mr Black to get their dues.

Jere and Rans, visit Walter, Jereʼs grumpy senile granddad. Rans has no interest in hanging out with Walter so goes and makes friends with another patient Isabelle. They storm out of the retirement village, not without stealing the keys to his granddad’s Merc.

Having stolen Grandad’s sweet Mercedes wheels, itʼs time to make a plan to get them out of this situation. Having watched a ton of movies, itʼs clear thereʼs only one thing they can do. Hide their identity and kidnap the video store managers daughter Des for ransom. A plan that couldnʼt go wrong, unless of course you are Jere and Rans and botch it from beginning, by calling each other by their real names...................to end.
