Trigger

Vic and Kat were the stars of iconic 90s punk band, Trigger. A decade or so after both the band and their friendship imploded on stage, they meet again to make an appearance at a fundraiserÑprovided, of course, that they can stand being near each other again. In a single night, they crash through their past, their respective addictions, their fears, and their remaining aspirations, each longing in a way for Òwhen we were pureÉwhen we were perfectÓ while knowing all the while that there isnÕt a chance in hell of getting that feeling backÉ

Trigger is a fiercely personal and philosophical clash between two women, a battle between ideologies, lifestylesÑand between memories and the present.

Scirocco Drama is proud to launch its entry into screenplay publishing with the filmscript of this acclaimed movie, directed by Bruce McDonald and starring Molly Parker and Tracy Wright.

Reviews

ÒA mesmerizing talk-a-thon with smart, useful things to say about life, love and rock ÕnÕ rollÉTheyÕre two halves of a wholeÑlike Jagger and Richards, the pouting face and wildly beating heart of rock ÕnÕ rollÉÓÑThe Globe and Mail

ÒTrigger is superbÉ The dialogue, brilliantly crafted by Daniel McIvor, crackles with recrimination, rivalry, competing addictions and blunt inquiry into the Big Questions.ÓÑMacleans

Ã’It’s like My Dinner With Andre, where the knives are razor sharp, and so is the pen of screenwriter Daniel MacIvor. He reels off zingers about rock that are so in tune, it makes you wonder if he was secretly a member of a touring punk band.ÓÑToronto Star
