The Story

Imagine this: you decide to get back at an ex-girlfriend who dumped you by becoming a national hero -- the first man to walk on Mars -- only to get separated from the ship in a tragic space walking accident. Tumbling headlong through boundless space, you receive an Earth transmission from her begging you to come back. Only problem is it'd take five years to get there and you've got about three minutes of life support left. Just enough time to realize how much you screwed up trying to make someone you love suffer. Hmmmm... Sound familiar?

Like candy, not all revenge is sweet.

Our First Film

At Cotatiwood we're very busy gearing up for our first production, a short called Major Tom.

Lights, camera, roll 'em!
It's a revenge-gone-wrong saga set in outer space. Major Tom is very much in keeping with the Cotatiwood creedo of exploring the darker, more tragic side of human folly in a light and humorous way. The production is bringing together some of the most interesting local talent, producers, and crew members -- all of whom will hopefully continuing working on future productions and form the nucleus of the Cotatiwood studio model.

The story is written by an ex-Hollywood screenwriter and stars two exceptionally talented Bay Area actors. It will also mark Cotatiwood founder Gregory Scherick's directorial debut.

Corbett Trubey as Major Tom, the sap who screwed his life up.
Chrissy Mazzeo as Gwen, the cold-hearted bitch.
