Digging up the Past

Only three days after receiving the unpublished SCREENBOOK (tm) by Mr. Meyer, Columbia Pictures Inc., & Penny Marshall optioned DIGGING UP THE PAST & also hired Mr. Meyer to write the upcoming major motion picture based on his SCREENBOOK (tm). The Federal Trademark Office defined Mr. Meyer's literary invention as "a series of fictional books which appear in the form of a script." A SCREENBOOK (tm) is the hybrid of a novel & a feature film's screenplay. It combines detailed descriptive passages of literature with the abbreviated direction of a motion picture's screenplay. The unique form of a SCREENBOOK (tm) allows all the action of the story to take place within a rectangular frame of a movie camera. Characters move in & out of frame just as in a movie &, subsequently, the images created in the reader's mind will seem as though they are images on a theater screen. (But what about the story?!) DIGGING UP THE PAST is the story of a young man who does the ONE thing he SWORE he would NEVER do...Alan Kuhr IV moves back to his hometown & becomes the next owner of his family's century- old & rapidly declining clothing store. The universal appeal of DIGGING UP PAST LIVES lies in Mr. Meyer's ability to capture the truly undiscovered essence of life in the contemporary South & the moral responsibilities we have to our extended family members as well as ourselves. Columbia Pictures has allowed only 2000 copies of DIGGING UP THE PAST to the public (to preserve the secrecy of the story's ending) in this signed, limited-edition coffee table book, complete with 25 8" x 11" artistic photographs evoking scenes from the story.
