Synopsis:
TRAVIS AMMONS of TICK TICK BANG PRODUCTIONS and WES LINNENBANK of FLOCK ON A WIRE PRODUCTIONS have joined forces with DIXIESCOUSE PRODUCTIONS, MELANCHOLY PICTURES and RICHARD BOYD to produceThis hysterical “pseudo-caper” film is about three rather ballsy interns who worked at NASA in 2002. Led by Tucker Thompson, the three of them literally stole over a million dollars worth of moon-rocks and meteorites and tried to sell them on Ebay! They were, of course, intercepted and arrested by federal agents. This comedy/caper flick will explore how the interns met, came up with the scheme, pulled off the heist and were eventually caught. THIS SCRIPT IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
