He must hunt to survive, to feed self and to feed his tribe. Returning to his real time, he makes the shot, becomes the hero and in the process realized where all the moves of life and sports originate from. Sports, basketball metaphor and evolution. All you need is a gazelle or an impala or a donkey made to look like an impala.

This short story is turning out to be a real bear to script and I need help.


EXTREME ZOMBIE CHALLENGE

GENRES: Comedy, Horror, Other

Bear Gryll eats raw insects, fights rabid monkeys, swims naked under the North Pole and skies, while blindfolded, down glaciers. A whole group of near brain dead humans (men and women) ski straight down mountains, explore active volcanoes, bicycle down the Amazon, jump motorcycles over the Grand Canyon and surf 80 foot waves. I'm pretty sure our zombie friends would want in on this kind of sports actions and the big bucks that come with hefty advertiser endorsement contracts for extreme sports and death defying stupidity.


THE WOMAN IN THE WOOD

It's Pygmalion, a story about a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he had carved, with a twist. Set in the rainforest of Maui, Casanova's restaurant and at a tropical pond where magic facilitates a just revenge. It's a short story in .doc form. Screenplay will be up by June 15.

THE DEATH of PRINT

GENRES: Comedy, Crime, Drama, Horror, Thriller

An morgue pathologist's hubby dies in one of the twin towers. In grief and despair she recreates her hubby using a 3-D printer. While in the grips of insanity and loneliness she seduces her 3-D ex, only to have her present hubby arrive back home to protect and save her.... he thinks. What the hell is a 3-D printer used for in a morgue? Think about it... the face of the deceased has to be near perfect for viewing. This s a new concept and here is the first story using that idea. Maybe a 3-D plastic gun can be made for product placement.

Set in an L.A. (or Honolulu) morgue, N.Y. (Hawaii short story version posted)/ Script will be on site soon. I can adapt the story to any large city in the USA/CANADA.
