FEATURE SCREENPLAY WINNER
“BEDBUGGERS”
Written by Tom Cavanaugh
Join us for a table read of BEDBUGGERS, the winner of this year’s Garden State Film Festival feature-length screenplay competition!
What happens when two teens meet the father they never knew—a highway rest stop enthusiast running a family grifting operation? BEDBUGGERS takes you on a wild ride filled with nomadic hijinks, questionable ethics, and the most awkward family reunion imaginable. When their mother dies, siblings are thrown into a moving van with their con-artist dad, a quirky uncle, and a cousin who’s mastered the art of the long con.
This hilarious and heartfelt dramedy asks: can you find yourself while living a life on the run? Inspired by true events, BEDBUGGERS is a story about family, belonging, and whether blood really is thicker than water (or truck stop coffee).
Don’t miss this chance to experience the award-winning screenplay brought to life!
