Writer-producer Michael Tove is finally seeing his long-term vision of a film career coming to life with the successful completion and multiple festival run of his first film, the Hitchcockian short, “Yard Saleing.”
It’s rare to find a screenwriter whose first project is made in what would otherwise be one’s retirement years, but Michael has always been a big fan of unpredictable stories like those by O. Henry, and on shows like ‘The Twilight Zone”.
As a young man, writing stories didn’t seem like a lucrative future, so Michael earned degrees in biology, only to find little work. Over time, he gave screenwriting a try, turning his focus to an enduring historical subject – the legendary pirate, Blackbeard. Though Michael readily admits he had no idea how movies were actually made, he answered a cattle call for a film that was shooting locally, and suddenly found himself on the set of a major motion picture. Michael has appeared in movies like the 1990 feature of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Exorcist III, and Love Field.
I’ve seen, “Yard Saleing,” which finds a young married couple in possession of a small, locked box purchased at a yard sale. Driven by the wife’s imagination, she and her husband seek out what she believes to be a found hidden treasure. I’ve seen “Yard Saleing,” and can tell you it’s quite an amusing and charming tale with a truly surprising twist ending.
