Bungalow

Feature Length Film*
Created by Paul Rabinowitz
Written by Beatriz Coelho de Soárez and Paul Rabinowitz

Log Line:
After a magazine article goes public, a Big Pharma sales executive seeks personal redemption and purchases a dilapidated bungalow colony to turn it into a community arts center.

Bungalow sparks from the internal struggle of Scott, one of a group of friends close from childhood. Scott works in pharmaceutical sales in charge of distribution of opioids and is increasingly tormented by his role facilitating human suffering. He finds an escape valve in his impulsive purchase of a run-down bungalow colony he hopes to turn into an artists’ residency. He is in turn goaded, spurred and inspired by Isabel and her brother Caio, siblings who are tapped into both the practice and ethos of art and its trade.

The film contains in its premise the foundations for conversations related to income inequality, the role of art in life, and the shifting dynamics of family, both found and of origin. It is the story of one man seeking redemption for his role in a grave collective wrong, and the story of his path toward art as a means of facilitating healing for himself and as a gesture of good for his community and beyond.

*The feature length film can be adapted into a Pilot Episode for a T.V. Series.
