Synopsis/Details
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang meets The Sweetest Thing – A quirky, comedic crime thriller with a romantic backdrop and mistaken identity. Jericho Hardcastle is a struggling actor in Los Angeles, juggling auditions, food delivery gigs, and the fallout of a complicated dating life. When the women he’s casually dating start turning up dead, stabbed in brutal, ritualistic ways, Jericho’s life spins out of control. With each murder, his name surfaces as the last person to see the victims alive, and the LAPD’s suspicion grows. A pair of homicide detectives will target him as Jericho goes from a person of interest early on to the number one suspect. As more bodies pile up, Jericho is forced into a desperate investigation to clear his name, risking life and limb as he edges closer to the truth. But the deeper he digs, the more dangerous his pursuit becomes and the more bodies keep appearing. Navigating the glamorous yet grimy streets of LA, Jericho’s search for answers blurs the line between hunter and prey. As Taylor’s sinister motives are revealed, Jericho must confront his own past mistakes and find redemption before he becomes the killer’s next victim—or worse, before the police pin the murders on him. Meet Cute, Meet Deadly is a gripping blend of suspense, dark humor, and a scathing commentary on modern dating culture, delivering a unique noir thriller where no one is as innocent as they seem.

The Writer: Scott Sawitz

I write genre-driven character studies populated by people at their worst — complex, flawed, and typically off-balance. My scripts mix dark thrills with off-kilter humor amid the absurdities of life. My feature Save State is streaming now on Tubi, Amazon, FuboTV, iTunes, ReVeel and a number of other places. It's a great watch, I'd like to think! I’ve been optioned four times, worked as a freelance sports writer, and I’ll probably make you laugh (or roll your eyes) before I do anything else. Oh — and my dog is cuter than yours. Go to bio
