Tropical Cop Tales

Director: Jim Hosking

Institute History

  • 2018 Sundance Film Festival

Description

Two burned-out city cops, Keymarion "Primetime" Weeyums and Demetrius "Meechie" Franks, relocate to a tropical paradise for a relaxing twilight to their careers. It ends up being the most vicious, menacing place on earth—not even slightly relaxing. Director Jim Hosking’s raucous The Greasy Strangler disgusted Midnight audiences at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, so we are hesitant (and excited) to present the world premiere of his pilot.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
