![]() ![]() At that point, Lutz realized that "the story really needed more space to be told properly," and decided to write it as a novel. Her final effort, tentatively titled "The Spellman Files", was also rejected. Variety Magazine described the movie as "torturously unfunny." She subsequently produced several other tentative screenplays, but none were picked up. Her screenplay was optioned in 1997, and was made into a movie in 2000 (released in 2001). During the 1990s she had many low-paying jobs, including work in a private investigation firm, and spent a lot of time writing and re-writing a Mob comedy called Plan B. She attended UC Santa Cruz, UC Irvine, University of Leeds in England and San Francisco State University, all without attaining a degree. Lutz was born in Southern California in 1970. She is a 2020 recipient of the Alex Awards. One of her rejected screenplays became the basis for a popular series of novels about a family of private investigators, the Spellmans. She began her career writing screenplays for Hollywood. ![]()
