Chicago Dick: Teaser

(14min)

Director: Dave Orvis
United States

Franklin Brewster was a lauded detective with the Chicago Police Department until he was fired following his binge drinking causing the tragic death of his wife. Now a washed-up private eye battling alcoholism, he accepts mundane jobs shadowing cheating spouses and identifying retail thieves in a struggle to make ends meet. Then he’s asked by a rich widow to solve a cold-case murder. Franklin sees her offer as a way to settle rising debts — and maybe as a path to restoring his honor. But why couldn’t the police bag the killer? And how can Franklin avoid becoming a homicide statistic himself? (This is a “master scene” from the 100-page screenplay.)
