About the Story
A musical screenplay for a romantic comedy rock'n'roll film
Not his generation, yet... destiny thrust him onto the stage of legends, where Jim's music now resonates at the heart of the British Invasion.
Living in a disadvantaged neighborhood of Liverpool, Jim Springfield, the leader of an unsuccessful rock band, finds himself unable to cope with his life. After accidentally falling in ingesting some pills mixed in his gin, Jim wakes up in the 1960s, where his life is completely different. Jim becomes Jimmy, and his band is now called "Jimmy Springfield's Band," enjoying great success.
Though living in this exciting new reality, he remains aware of his previous life and must adapt to his newfound fame alongside the biggest names of the era who have influenced his dreams and ambitions.
However, Darren—a violent, jealous troublemaker from Jimmy’s past who’s dating Nancy, the young woman Jimmy has fallen for—sees Jimmy's success as a threat and is determined to do whatever it takes to bring him down and destroy his career.
“Jimmy and the British Invasion”, a new film with an original soundtrack and screenplay written by Allison Hazan.
Set in modern-day Liverpool, the story centers on the time-hopping adventures of Jim Springfield, the main character of the story. Jim is a frustrated musician – a singer without a stage, who dreams of a successful career, until a freak accident sees him wake up on the 1960’s, at the height of Mersey Beat, on the brink of the much-fabled “British Invasion” of the US.
