Interview with Screenwriter Mary C. Ferrara (RED SHIRT)

Matthew Toffolo: What is your screenplay about?

Mary C. Ferrara: A woman named Muriel goes on a blind date at a diner, she knows nothing about the guy she is meeting but that he will have a red shirt. Being an awkward person and a bit overwhelmed, she runs into the bathroom shortly after she arrives and runs into Julia, a woman from high school who was one of the popular gals; Julia knows the whole truth about Muriel and her lonely life and corners Muriel on meeting this date…NOW.

2. What genres does your screenplay fall under?

I’d say comedy and a bit of romance.

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

I think because even though Muriel’s life might be more extreme than most women (or maybe not?) there will be a good deal of women that can relate to this story in some capacity…
