“The Intentions of F. Scott Fitzgerald” is a dark existentialist comedy that follows two Australian hitmen on a routine 'clean up' job. Whilst in a meaningful conversation about The Great Gatsby the two find themselves in a panic as their victim makes a run for it.       



The film explores the notion that no matter how obscure your circumstances… with routine and repetition It can stagnate. It also intertwines the major themes of The Great Gatsby – the consequences of the American dream. The idea of hope, that if we do these things, the future will be better.
The consequence of that is, we sacrifice the present and look to the future for hope. We’re always looking for something we don’t have. Or for a better term, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Influences include: 

- Jim Jarmusch’s “Coffee and Cigarettes” (2003) and “Dead Man” (1995)
- Wes Anderson’s “The Royal Tenenbaum’s” (2001)
- Martin McDonagh’s “In Bruges” (2008)
