Loglines & Screenplays by Clayton Emery

GENRES: Historical, Mystery

Chesapeake Bay, 800 years ago... An outcast shaman, a lovesick girl, and a weary war-chief reluctantly team up to solve a murder - or suffer their tribe to be exterminated...  All Native American cast, based on the NYT bestselling series "People of the Earth".

GENRES: Comedy

Two losers, desperate to pay off a mobster, host a dance at the local arena - but forget to specify.  As they fall out, the girlfriends and locals take over as mariachis, Chinese ribbon dancers, cowboys and cowgirls, African dance troupes and others audition.  As the guys return from fighting with their families, still not talking, they shove dancers on stage in a cataclysmic mish-mash - as the mob robs the box office!  Can dumb luck and good intentions save the show and set the whole city dancing?

GENRES: Thriller, Crime

Susan "Tyger" Blake - ex-cop, ex-con, shade-tree mechanic, and part-time drunk - totaled her life and just wants to hide.  But a wrecked car points to a missing girl, then a theater fire, a missing old lady, a dynamited car, a missing college girl, and maybe threats to the entire town.  Female curiosity and feminist rage make a deadly combination, and Tyger will run roughshod over anyone to learn the truth.  As for her chances of being killed - or redeemed - who cares?  She'll grab that tiger by the tail...  Based on my Edgar-Nominated short story.

GENRES: Sci-fi, Comedy

In space, things can always get worse...  Sam and Hannah, husband/wife starship engineers, shipwreck on a long-lost space station called "The Jack".  They soon learn it's antiquated, crumbling, and ready to fly apart.  Desperate to save it, they dodge xenophobic locals, dangerous aliens, and killer robots, slapping patches where they can.  Until Space Marines invade and trigger disaster.  With the Jack shaking to pieces, and everyone hunting their heads, Sam and Hannah cobble a last-ditch plan with one tiny hitch: everyone must cooperate - or everyone dies.
