In KEEP COMING BACK young Taylor Ogburn has a problem. He has a ‘very weird heart’ that, whenever things get a bit too much, is prone to go racing off and nearly kill him. As a consequence he has led a very sheltered life, and though he’s eighteen years old – he’s really never lived a day…
After suffering yet another near fatal episode, Taylor meets the stunning Krystal, a recovering alcoholic ex-stripper, with all the right attributes to get his heart racing again. And after years of living quietly, Taylor decides that now’s the time to grow up and confront the danger embedded in his chest.
Instantly and deeply in love, he follows Krystal in to an AA meeting, where she mistakes Taylor for a recovering alcoholic. Needing every possible edge he can get in order to have a shot with the woman of his dreams, Taylor goes along with it. Playing down his straight, preppy persona and playing up his new tough damaged one. With a little help from his older brother Campbell and Krystal’s son Bobby, Taylor finally starts living life to the fullest – but can Taylor’s shaky heart hold on long enough for him to finally learn what love is?
Starting production in July 2007 in LA, USA, James Whitaker (Thank you For Smoking, The Cooler, The King of California) will be Director of Photography.
KEEP COMING BACK is being produced by Rachel Rothman, Tucker Tooley and Dan Keston. CAA has North America and sales agent ContentFilm has international sales rights.
Tooley said: “Bill is such a dynamic force. Rachel, Dan and I feel very lucky that we can be a part of his directorial debut and that he shares our vision. Will Aldis’ script is so unique and compelling, we couldn’t be happier to have Bill leading the charge.”
Content’s Carmichael said: “Having worked with William H. Macy on Thank You For Smoking, The Cooler – and even on Transamerica where he was an EP, we feel that he belongs to us! So we just had to have his directorial debut.”
