Magical Realism: adventure and comedy

Bio

I have been drawn to Magical Realism, with the exception of two biopics whose subjects fascinated me. I have written a dozen screenplays, three stage plays, thirty non-fiction books and one children's boo. All of my work has received praise, 4 Star and 5 Star ratings on Amazon, and I have won or placed in a dozen screenwriting contests. Some time back, I was a college professor and theatre director, teaching playwriting, acting, dramatic literature. Also acted. I was once a VP of development for a TV film producer. Have been heavily involved in modern metaphysical healing practices.

UNIQUE SELLING POINT

The screenplay's unique selling proposition is its innovative fusion of Arthurian legend with modern political conspiracy, using time travel as both plot device and thematic exploration of trauma and redemption. Unlike typical time-travel stories, it maintains emotional grounding through Adam's journey from broken ex-agent to reluctant hero, while the street kids subplot adds unexpected heart and social commentary.

STANDOUT FEATURES

Unique Hook: The integration of time travel with personal and emotional stakes, allowing for character growth and exploration of past traumas.
Major Twist: The revelation of Merlin's true identity and his connection to Adam's past, adding layers to the narrative.
Innovative Ideas: The use of a futuristic healing center and magical elements juxtaposed with contemporary and historical settings.

UNIQUE SELLING POINT

The script's unique selling proposition lies in its intricate exploration of the supernatural and psychological elements that shape the protagonist's journey. The script seamlessly blends elements of thriller, drama, and even a touch of horror, creating a multi-layered narrative that delves deep into the human psyche. The script's exploration of the complex relationship between the protagonist and her mother, as well as the incorporation of the "Jack" character as a supernatural entity, sets it apart from more conventional thrillers. The script's compelling character development and the way it tackles themes of trauma, identity, and the cycle of abuse make it a standout in the genre.

STANDOUT FEATURES

Unique Hook: The intertwining of a psychological thriller with elements of shamanism and spiritual healing.
Major Twist: The revelation of Jack's true identity and his connection to Jill's past, which adds layers to the narrative.
Distinctive Setting: The contrast between urban Sacramento and the rural, haunting landscapes of Logan, West Virginia.
