Welcome to the launch site of a new SCREENPLAY!
The Pan-Pacific Expo of 1915 established San Francisco as the gateway west, and celebrated the city’s recovery from the Great Earthquake just nine years earlier. One of the great comeback stories in American history. More than 19 million people attended the fair.

Including three young people Fuzzy, Myrtle & Maple in a romantic comedy to make viewers fall in love with San Francisco all over again.


A slap-stick, cross-country train chase with a dastardly villain in pursuit - dreams of love, Hollywood, and a new beginning. Deception, disguise, mistaken identities, secret accomplices, close calls, prat falls and original songs to top it all. What could go wrong?

Take a look at the video clips below and then Open to view the Screenplay PDF.

Feel free to forward this (http://ComeAugust1915.com) to
people you know in film production, studios, tourism,
who may think a film
     - set in S.F.
     - shot in S.F.
     - and S.F. in its heart
could play a helpful role in the revitalization of the city.
