Interview with Screenwriter Iannis Aliferis (Samantha Rutledge PI, A Killer Case)

Matthew Toffolo: What is your screenplay about?

Iannis Aliferis: It is the story of a bored and jaded female private-eye, who takes on another seemingly open and shut case of infidelity, only to put herself in grave danger when it turns out that the cheating spouse is in fact a professional killer.

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

It falls under the genres of film noir, thriller and action.

3. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

I believe that film noir is a neglected genre in today’s cinema, and one with a lot of scope and opportunity. I also believe that the main character provides a female actor with a terrific role and opportunity to shine. Finally, I am also of the belief that it will give the world, in Samantha Rutledge, a female private eye on par with Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe.
