This story was written by me (Tina) in 2005, and I read it at Open Mic Night at the Flying Monkey Arts Center. It was my most highly requested story. We had been talking about making it into a movie till at least 2007, but getting a bank to use is pretty hard to do. If you ask to film a bank robbery, they will call security. And, I only ever had one bank in mind. It was historical (like Civil War Era historical), rumored to have been robbed by Jesse James (not true), and just a gorgeous bank. In 2011, the bank ceased to be a bank and I jumped at the chance. The cast is littered with other filmmakers: the security guard, two of the mimes, and both tellers.
