I have hopes! One is a mid-budget, but the others are definitely low-budget indies.
The focus was to write the low-budget scripts that could be actually be made here in the Midwest (where I’m currently located) and submitted to festivals like Sundance.
However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
For those who *might* be interested, here are the titles/loglines:
NEPHILIM (Grounded SciFi/Thriller) - An anthropologist is recruited by the CIA to join a Special Forces team on a secret mission to the Brazilian rainforest where a Chinese expedition was exterminated by Sasquatch, but the team discovers far more than expected.
The tagline for this one is: All the giants didn’t die in the Great Flood.
This one placed in a SciFi contest in 2016. The current draft is much stronger and I’m submitting to that contest again as well as perhaps the Austin Film Festival.
THE WANDERER (Thriller) - A young pastor struggles to keep his church alive aided by a mysterious itinerant laborer. I might enter this one in the Nicholl Fellowship and see how it does.
Now to be honest, this one has a touch of PC as one of the antagonists is a real estate developer, but is more of a red herring to conceal the ultimate antagonist.
The last one is a satire.
MUSICAL CHAIRS - A confident naive engineer struggles against competitors both inside and outside his company to learn the realities of life and how to survive on his own terms.
My current script is a dramedy. About 1/2 way done with the first draft.
Wow, sounds like great work and a large breadth of variety, too. Best of luck!
“Nephilm” sounds like it would be really good.
Hope you can put it together; a lot of Frank Peretti fans will like it.
As a matter of fact there are several books that use the Nephilm as their main plot line.
