A BANQUET OF FLESH
Young Adult-Adult-Female-Male-Diverse-Multicultural-International
Horror-Sci-Fi-Virus-Alien-Walking Dead-Action-Apocalypse-Thriller
This is a high-stakes, globe-trotting thriller with apocalyptic urgency – think “Contagion” and “Night of the Living Dead” melded with “The Thing” and a dash of “Indiana Jones” bio-horror.
LOGLINE
An Alien, flesh-eating virus gorges on humans turning them into rabid, living corpses. The only cure lies in a plant deep within the Malaysian jungle. In a race against time and hunted by drug company mercenaries, native rebels and aboriginal warlords, a rogue American bio-pirate and his team must extract the rare nectar and create a serum before the annihilation of humanity.
BLUE GIRL
Teen-Young Adult-Adult-Female-Multicultural-International
Coming of Age-Drama-Hero-Spiritual-Fantasy-Adventure-Sci-Fi
This is for audiences who love and connect with the cosmic power and self-discovery of “Captain Marvel,” the unnerving body transformation of “Annihilation,” the spiritual struggle between destiny and humanity in “Princess Mononoke,” a girl pushed into a role she never asked for in “The Hunger Games” and where cosmic stakes are deeply emotional in “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”
It's a female epic superhero origin story for young women who want power without costumes, salvation without violence, and a hero who heals the world by becoming something entirely new. Blending cosmic mysticism with coming-of-age, the story explores identity, choice, and what it truly means to save the world from evil, war, hate, sickness, and death itself.
LOGLINE
She glows indigo. She levitates. She brings the dying back from the edge. A teenage girl reincarnates as the prophesied Buddha Goddess destined to heal the world, but to fulfill this ancient prophecy and awaken a cosmic healing power, she must undergo a perilous metamorphosis on a superhuman journey to the highest place on Earth.
