DEVELOPMENT
All the intellectual properties featured on this page are in various stages of production.
SUB ROSA
Two worlds, one above... centuries of history... written, verified… conflicted but corroborated… generations troubled, yet survived.
One below… mysterious tales of mysterious lives… with even more mysterious... impossible origins.
Science fantasies.
What happens when the ground crumbles and real collides with the dream.
VAL-MAR, Gifted and Cursed
A story of a twisted inheritance, several generations in the making...
The sins of a father visited upon a son... A legacy of power and pain.
THE SENTINEL
A burned out former special forces agent is hiding from himself in a London dive bar... until he is caught in the middle of a terrorist kidnapping with dangerous global implications.
This story asks… what can connect a man to a country to the extent that he may be called a patriot… and what does patriotism mean in the new world order?
SLATE HILL
“Dragons”… “Bichu”… “Gargoyles”…
protectors at the gates…
All ancient cultural icons… with a possible common origin.
When a tragedy brings a notorious long lost son home, timeless mythology meets urban legend… and the line between fiction and reality becomes blurred… with deadly consequences.
CHAMILLE
They thought she was a victim, helpless…. alone.
They thought it would be … easy.
But she had help… and she knew how to use it.
A MAN CALLED SLEDGE
The legend of John Henry and his battle with machine technology is well known in American folklore.
It is a tale of a battle won and a war lost… a tale of futility.
As it is told and passed down by those with access to shape the story, simple-minded Henry could not fathom the idea that a machine can perform a physically laborious task more efficiently than he. In his ignorance, he kills himself competing against it.
The folly of this story is that in the time period that it took place, most of those “machines” were invented by slaves, and following that, operated primarily by ex-slaves.
That John Henry could not understand the potential of that type of machine, is ludicrous and insulting… almost as much as the idea of African Americans adopting the hymn “Amazing Grace” as a staple of their worship culture.
But that’s a different story… as is this one…
RETURN OF THE STORM KING
The Mythological god of storms returns in a final battle to reclaim his lost humanity.
When king, Saa N’go was tempestuous and war-like. His aggression led him to be gravely wounded in battle. At the moment of death, his life is transformed by the discovery of “The Lightning”, a gift that becomes his gateway to the gods.
It is a gift that will come at great cost.
BLACK BULLET
In the late 50’s, Lloyd Price transformed an old blues standard about a squabble between two gamblers, Lee “STAGG” Shelton and William ”Billy” Lyons, into a timeless rock and roll icon.
In the process a folktale became a legend.
Some say there was more to this simple story of ‘hood justice… much more…
OUTLAW
Inspired by the legend of Bass Reeves...
Outlaw tells the story of the spirit of truth... of a universal concept of right and wrong that transcends countries, and cultures, and man's law.
... about time itself seeing and dictating the need to periodically call upon someone, a righteous courageous someone, strong enough to to personify the essence of justice.
RONEN
A genetically engineered and augmented government operative is accidentally transported back in time to become a ronin super-soldier.
MANON
There is a theory that the essence of man came from the stars… that mankind is the result of a broken evolutionary path… a missing link.
There is also the belief that the existence of humanity is the result of the imagination of a divine intellect.
Some even say that life as we know it is only an illusion.
Vivaan… is all-too-human. He cares not for the how or why, only for the beautiful result.
Young, rich and glorious, he is living the dream… until…
He comes face to face with his mortality, in the form of a being called…
MANON.
… and he is awakened.
