THE INCREDIBLE BUT TRUE STORY OF MS. CONSTANCE BALLARD & THE FALL CREEK 10!
SCREENPLAY
A comic book action movie in the spirit of a female Indiana Jones meets The Avengers in a mythical, ‘Weird’ Wild West. When her mother and brother are murdered by a mysterious beast while traveling through her father’s mining territory, Constance Ballard joins a motley crew of 10 hunters, trackers and mercenaries to find the culprit and bring him, or it, to justice.
I wrote this one with director Mark Anthony Galluzzo and it received a lot of love and positive feedback from both The Hollywood Blacklist and LA spec script contest ‘The Tracking Board - Launch Pad’ where it was a semi-finalist and made it into their ‘Top Features’.
It was also selected for the European development programme ‘Production Value’ and as such is fully scheduled and budgeted, right down to the daily cost of someone collecting up the horse poo (really).
From the Hollywood Blacklist review:
“It’s refreshing to see a story where almost all of the 12 principals have a miniature story to tell in their own right, and the authors gracefully weave their fates together without sacrificing the cogent mythology behind the “Slayers”. For genre fans, watching these hunters fall to their own greed, pride, or the snapping jaws of the Slayers is about as fun as it gets.”
