Writer Statement

Klutch is my attempt to write an action film that is, at its core, a feminist spin on neo-noir. I also wanted to depict the diverse nature of Boston and have gangsters besides just white Irish ones popular in Boston-set crime films.

The title "Klutch"—also the lead character's nickname—is a nod to the slang for the word "clutch" (and the clutch in a manual transmission) as well as a reference to the film Klute (1971) as is the lead's given name of Bree (which was Jane Fonda's name in Klute).
