The Robbery AKA The Mime Movie

This story was written by me (Tina) in 2005, and I read it at Open Mic Night at the Flying Monkey Arts Center.  It was my most highly requested story.  We had been talking about making it into a movie till at least 2007, but getting a bank to use is pretty hard to do.  If you ask to film a bank robbery, they will call security.  And, I only ever had one bank in mind.  It was historical (like Civil War Era historical), rumored to have been robbed by Jesse James (not true), and just a gorgeous bank.  In 2011, the bank ceased to be a bank and I jumped at the chance.  The cast is littered with other filmmakers:  the security guard, two of the mimes, and both tellers.  

It has shown at Sidewalk Film Festival (Birmingham, AL), DragonCon Independent Film Festival (Atlanta, GA), Rocket City Film Festival (Huntsville, AL), and Wizard World Film Festival (Columbus, OH).  It was nominated for Best Comedy at DragonCon.
