....hollywood’s Destroyed BeTTeR wriTers
LoSERS LOUNGE is a character driven comedy based on the pursuit of the classic
American dream: Sell a screenplay to Hollywood and become an
«overnight» success. But there’s a twist.
Despite their relentless failure, four aspiring screenwriters in a small town manage to
sabotage their one shot at success and discover that failure can be its own reward.
Joshua M. Bott appears in a supporting role as Alpha, an up and coming screen
writer, who is looking to join a screen writing group until he actually meets the "Losers"
of LoSERS LoUNGE. Unbeknownst to Alpha, the Losers rejoin the blow-off in true
screenwriter fashion.
The film is 90 minutes and was shot on location in Oregon and Washington with a
SAG cast and crew, and features a soundtrack featuring legendary musicians Oscar
Brown Jr. and John Lurie.
The writer/director, Janine Kijner, has received several awards for writing and has
worked on other film projects that have premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival 2003
and The Sundance Film Festival 2001.
