Synopsis For Life Is Rock n Roll

Sandra May is a vibrant actress performing in the production “That’s Life”. It is the closing night as the production is about to go on tour…unfortunately for Sandra….without her. Despondent she leaves her home town to find fame and fortune in the city.

Mike Coleman, a struggling screenplay writer, battles to find inspiration for a new script. He is desperate to sell a story in order to pay his rent. He gets asked to run the diner downstairs for a week in lieu of his rent. It is there that he meets Sandra. She is the inspiration he requires to write, as she points out to him that the diner makes a perfect location to set his movie in. There are a host of characters to base it on, from Betty Lewis, a senior in college, in love with Rick Wesley, the leader of a gang to Eddy and Dulcibella, the nerds from school. Not to mention Judy, the waitress, and the love of her life, Officer Joe.

Each couple facing their own trials and tribulations.

In a time of ducktails, fast cars, gangs and great music, Mike soon realizes that a fictional story can never be as powerful as life itself. He has finally got the inspiration for a great movie, a movie he will eventually title…..Life is Rock n Roll.
