Summaries

  • The South: the final frontier. These are the pursuits of the Trawicks, Their lifelong mission To recover imbecilic fugitives, To win glory upon the battlefields of peewee football, To boldly go where no skiptracer has gone before. And maybe to get laid or something, too. Like their home state of Alabama, the Trawicks are slam - full of oddities, idiocy, contradictions, traditions, and rednecks. JD is a color-blind desperado who enjoys the company of geriatrics and harbors dreams of something more; like bombing shit. His brother Tucker has a large penis and enjoys fighting, doing whip-its, and failing out of Lurleen B. Wallace Community College. He harbors dreams of fighting, doing whip-its, and banging Lurleen B. Wallace. Big Donald is their father, a redneck Magnum P.I., who probably abused JD and Tucker when they were too little to kick his ass, but in a funny way. Nanny is the matriarch, a schizophrenic former bootlegger and rumrunner turned born-again Christian who is an angel on the ground but a demon behind the wheel. Together - but often at odds with one another - they turn the South upside-down in their pursuit of bail-jumping misfits, such as Rusty McAndrews, a diabetic and diabolical welder with a penchant for dangerous women and crack. But skiptracing is the business that pays the bills while they engage in their real passion: coaching their dynastic peewee football team, the Bombers, to Pop Warner Valhalla. In pursuit of McAndrews and the city championship, JD and company are opposed by the dastardly Cletus Yoates and his henchman Bart, who will stop at nothing to destroy the Trawick family, business, and football legacy. Along the way, the Trawicks discover the hidden and absurd underbelly of the South - and punch it.—Brian Saliba

Synopsis

  • Set in the armpit of Alabama, just beyond the crossroads of Ambition and Stupidity, Skiptracers is the story of a family whose fortunes are tied up in a web of fugitives, football and fellatio. Witness the misadventures JD and Tucker Trawick ( bail-bonding, pee-wee football coaching, brothers) as they attempt to keep their Dads bonding company in business and their senile Nanny off the road..and maybe get laid or something too.

    Since completion in September 2008, Skiptracers has appeared in five film festivals, and won five awards. The movie features a stellar soundtrack of original music from The Defibulators and Langhorne Slim and the War Eagles whose self titled album was #14 in Paste Magazines best of 2008.
