Change the name of the book, “A Backpack, a Bear, and Eight Crates of Vodka” to “Beg, Borrow or Shmear” and create a film much like, “The Twelve Chairs” in it’s somber sweetness yet toned down enough to deal with the serious nature of a family of Jews escaping from the Ukraine in the 1970’s.
alternative is a couple of jewboys from brooklyn trying to get into a) a poker tourney or b) a couple gay jewboys trying to get into a Barbra concert or c) whatever else makes for a good story needing begging, borrowing or shmearing
Use the visual image of spreading of cream cheese onto a bagel as a metaphor for bribing….a shmear!
It’s big! Really big!!
And to Paige….Ha Ha!!! Soulmate of Hate was never done before!!!
