This is a light-hearted drama set in the 1940s. THE SCREENWRITERS brings us into the world of the once-great Stewart Harvey, and the bumbling new kid in town, Chip Leninskovich, screenwriters, who together must hash out a feature-length screenplay in under twenty-four hours. Of course they both have their own ideas of how and why the story should be shaped and must work out their differences. Interrupting the writers throughout their ordeal, studio coworkers and enemies impose their ideas on the burgeoning script. Diva director Forrest Woods, glamorous actress Elaine Gibson, philosophical guards Frank and Henry, and Stu's ex-flame Agnes DeMint inject comic relief.
