Hit and Runway is a 1999 American comedy film directed by Christopher Livingston.[1] The film is a buddy comedy centred on the work relationship between Alex Andero (Michael Parducci), a young heterosexual Italian-American waiter, and Elliot Springer (Peter Jacobson), an older gay Jewish playwright, who meet and become friends despite their differences as they collaborate on Alex's idea for a screenplay about an undercover police officer posing as a fashion model.[2]
The film was partially inspired by Livingston and cowriter Jaffe Cohen's own process of trying to hammer out their own differences as they began to collaborate on what would become the film's screenplay.[3]
It won best screenplay at the 1999 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival.[3]
