Who are you and why are you doing this?
I'm Jamie Munsey, acclaimed screenwriter, producer, and lover of B-movies, Massachusetts, sharks, high camp, creature features, filmmaking, and screwball comedy. I'm also an award-winning writer-producer, known for unique, unconventional portrayals of the queer experience.
SHNAKE! to me, is not just a movie. It's a covert mission to infiltrate the ultra-straight, ultra-macho "sharksploitation" film - but make it the campy, riotous, LGBTQ+ musical mega smash it was always meant to be.
"Finally," you may think to yourself, "a script that combines gay pride, campy hijinks, and character-driven comedy, with early American history, sea serpent lore, and SyFy-type monster madness." This is a cult classic in the making!
SHNAKE! is the moment. SHNAKE! is for the girls, gays, and theys. SHNAKE! is for Provincetown, for America, for the world. SHNAKE! is what we all need right now.
