Logline: A band of fledgling criminals plan to sell the story/movie
rights to a crime they have yet to commit.
AT BEST DERIVATIVE was written by AZ native Jeremy K Clayton in 2005
while working as a bank teller. He was introduced to director and co-producer Ryan M Pierson in Late 2006. The pair began
principle photography in September of 2007 with the help of Light Pulse Studios and veteran producer/cinematographer Chuck
Harding.
AT BEST DERIVATIVE boasts an all Arizona cast, including but not limited to the late Barry E Wallace (who
passed in December of 2008) as "Max Heavy", Robert Friedlander (The Kingdom, The Handlers, I'm Voting Republican),
runway modeling phenom Noelle Wheeler, Damien DeChurch, and front man Adam Pierson who was chosen from 2 dozen auditionees
despite having never acted before.
With a speaking cast of 53, a non-speaking cast of over 200, 57 unique locations
and only weekend availability for most talent and crew, AT BEST DERIVATIVE was an extremely complicated and laborious project.
Synopsis:
True crime is big nowadays. Nobody knows that better than the truest of criminals, Waffle House,
and his band of ill-to-doers who have a plan to knock off the local bank on spec. All they need is an inside man, Edwin Sage,
to help iron out a few of the details.
Edwin, an aspiring screenwriter/bank teller, is happy to help, especially
because he thinks the group’s front man is a rep from Miramax looking for creative advice on how to make a big screen
robbery look “real”.
Everyone is blissful in their ignorance until Edwin, a tinge insecure about his
ability to deliver, consults his cousin, and head of the local anti-robbery task force, Max Heavy.
Oppressed by
the disdain of his social circle, the sheer listlessness of his existence, and enough script “how-to” literary
principles to fill the vault he’ll probably die in, Edwin is not only a failure, he’s an accessory.
At
Best Derivative is a self-conscious farce comedy that sets out to prove that it is always best to be yourself, even when “yourself”
is a pathetic loser with no chance at any real accomplishment.
