I had a thought yesterday, instead of being a traditional Film Noir piece, i could keep the film noir stylings and tell it from the view of a struggling writer.
Say for example you can see him writing, then it flashes down to what he is writing so you can see the situation his characters are in, then as it climaxes it flashes back to the writer, who just can't seem to write his big finish.
It would still be Neo-Noir at it's core but it would be juxtaposed with a slight hint of comedy.
