Scott Fivelson: Tuxes

    Scott Fivelson is a screenwriter, fiction writer, and author whose stories and satirical pieces have appeared in Chicago Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, the L.A. Weekly, Tales from the Heart of Hollywood, and other publications. His film, American Reel, a comedy/drama about the music business, starred David Carradine, the distinguished British actor Michael Maloney (Truly, Madly, Deeply, Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet), and Mariel Hemingway.


   Exposing the hilarious corporate stronghold on the formal wear industry, Scott Fivelson offers a satirical look into the high society of Texas, which we most often associate with oil tycoons and political dynasties.  While
Tuxes sets its sights on the unbelievably wealthy and their surreal lifestyle, it also targets the lingering traits of the old world's oligarchic system on our modern society.  With a quick jaunt through recorded human history, Fivelson exposes the way that our modern world continues to rely on amoral, animalistic instincts, and he shows that these character flaws are manifested most clearly in the blind ambition of the American Entrepreneur.
