MMM FILMS PROEJCTS IN ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Screenplay By R. Paul DhillonOriginal Story by R. Paul Dhillon and Veeno Dewan
LOGLINE: A riveting family drama pits two cousins against each other as one tries to save the other from becoming another casualty in the rising death toll in Canadian Gangland.
Set against Vancouver, Canada’s Gangland, which has claimed more than 200 young Indo-Canadian/South Asian men over the last two decades, B-Town Boyz is a riveting family drama that pits two cousins against each other as one sucks the other deeper into a criminal world while the other tries to save him from becoming another casualty of gangland war.
The story begins with the arrival of "Ash" Ashwinder Singh Bains back to Vancouver from London after a lengthy self imposed exile. He left his extended family in Canada after a taboo relationship with his first cousin Amber Bains when they were both teens. His return not only opens old wounds with Amber but also his “big brother” of a cousin Jaggi Jack Bains, who is now the biggest gangster in town, controlling major part of Vancouver’s criminal underworld with his B-Town Boyz crew (B standing for Brown).
Ash and Jack were very close once, having grown up together since Ash moved from England as a child to live with Jack’s family decades back. But Ash is in for a chilly reception and much worst as Jack prepares to give his disloyal cousin a real hell ride for his brotherly sins.
Jack’s façade of brotherly love is akin to Ash looking a gift horse in the mouth. And soon Ash is way over his head as gets sucked into the Jack’s criminal world, where bravado and the-way-of-the-Gun rule and confused loyalties and petty bickering can readily lead to murder.
Jack runs his criminal world, which includes his trusted lieutenant Shawn and the “respected gentleman” Godfather Mafioso Eduardo Vateo, like a corporate business. He forces Ash, a financial wizard, to manage the books and invest the ill-gotten loot in stocks and other money laundering enterprises, including offshore tax havens, just in case enemies like Babyblue, a gigantic rival gangster, force him to close up shop and relocate.
Jack’s attempt to stay atop of the criminal world is complicated by his new found love Helen and the discovery of Ash and Amber’s taboo relationship, not to mention hidden family secrets. Ultimately, as is the case in the criminal world, the “Megalomaniac” syndrome and the lack of trust ultimately lead to Jack’s self destruction. As much as it is an odyssey into the criminal underworld, B-Town Boyz is a study of an immigrant family, whose patriarchs came to a new world with the optimism of a better life for their kids. But somehow the sins of the fathers bore a heavy burden on their sons!

LOGLINE: Aliens, John Milton and demonic voices wrecking hell deep in the psyche of troubled minds, Spilt Coffee is a metaphor for the unattainable in life.
Spilt Coffee (aka Glorious Bastards) is a metaphor for the unattainable in life and no one knows that better than Glen and his fellow Group Home roomies Jeff and Ron, who are overwhelmed by the mental illness. The three aging schizophrenic men are forced to live in poverty. Reduced to child like behaviour, the three cry and vent at each other like bullies on a playground but just as quickly can turn into frightened children.
They live for the vicarious love of a young Filipino nurse Virer, who looks after them. Virer is their ray of sunshine, their only hope for sanity and small pleasures left in their limited existence. She is also the object of their sex fantasies as they try to navigate their shaky isolated world When the no nonsense Virer leaves for a holiday, the men fall apart and the news of her plane crash devastates them.
But alas her presumed death is just another deception in their world full of frustration and hopelessness. Combining heart wrenching pain, tragicomedy, camaraderie, aliens and Paradise Lost wordsmith Sir John Milton, Spilt Coffee is a raw portrait of infliction and lives lived on the edge!.
