Support the Hilarious Sketch Comedy: Bank Robbery Hottie

What is missing in every Christopher Nolan movie? You may be thinking: women. Or women that don’t die. Or women that have more than one sentence of dialogue. And yes, you are correct. However, I’d like to dig a little deeper. I think every one of his films is missing one critical key: idiots.

Everyone in Mr. Nolan’s films are too smart. Let’s bring back dumb dumbs!

That’s what Bank Robbery Hottie is all about. Two best friends are held hostage during a bank heist by a super hot robber and despite the obvious red flags, the two concoct a way to talk to him. It will be shot in a very similar style to the bank heist scene in The Dark Knight, but starring Alana and Abbi from Broad City.

A quote from a recent review of the script stated, "Bank Robbery Hottie is an absolutely hilarious, keenly observed comedy short film with barrels of laughs making it feel like one of the better sketches from SNL... The dialogue is pitch-perfect (and maybe the script's strongest point) which the writer wields as both a hammer and scalpel, as the situation requires."

Studies also show that looking at hot bank robbers is proven to lower blood pressure and stabilize cholesterol levels. So please donate, share and keep your notifications updated while we go into production on our short.

And if you don’t support this film I will curse you to a life of hostage situations with only ugly bank robbers.
