The Story
The Moviejawn crew is making a short ten minute flick this fall about one of the neatest things on the planet: PIZZA.
What's it about? Pizzaman tells the story of an eccentric elderly couple, Helen and Teddy. After their young son, Waldo was run down by a pizza delivery driver, they have become grief stricken and never eat pizza again. They find themselves in a time warp, obsessing over their loss. After thirty years, a new pizza shop, Pizza Heaven opens in town and the couple seek revenge! Everything seems to be going according to plan until a a routine delivery turns into... Cheese, Pepperoni and MURDER!

Our Story: After obtaining advice from her mother, Rosalie knocked on Katie's dorm door in College, because she had a Blink-182 poster and thought maybe they could be friends. Welllll, 15 years later, and as Chucky would say, they are "friends til' the end."
Why Pizzaman? They wrote Pizzaman, after eating copious amounts of pizza and simutaneously being fed up with what they saw in the slasher flick world. As fans of horror they had a desire to flip the storyline, and give a new perspective to the idea of the "final girl".
Ian Kimble....................................................................Producer
Ian's Story: After a simple tweet to the universe stating, "We want to make a movie!" - Ian came to the call. He wasn't afraid of how many cans of sauce would be needed for this production, so we hired him. Also, his resume was not too shabby. Ian recently produce wrote, directed and produced the film Dead Giveaway, which went on to win at the 2019 Philadelphia Independent Film Festival.

Rachel Watson..........................................................................Editor
Pizzaman will be in the vein of a slasher flick that you would probably have seen in cinemas during the late 70s and 80s. For those 90s kids, maybe it was one of those VHS tapes you picked at a summer yardsale. Let's just say... it's gonna be cheeeeeesy.
The two main characters are grief stricken have found themselves in a time warp. Therefore, much of the props and location dressings will be in the late 70s and early 80s style, including the character dress. The rest of the characters are living in the present day. Here are samples from the production design team. We are going for a retro feel. The sytle and asthetics are such a huge part of the Pizzaman story.
