The project is obviously close to his heart, since it is a script that he co-wrote with his wife, Tricia Cooke, in the mid-2000s.
The story is a lesbian road movie that follows the adventures of two friends, one party girl the other less so, who travel from Philadelphia to Miami.
According to the
Hollywood Reporter
