Description:
This is a romance/drama feature-length film with a production company attached and distribution deal in place. The logline reads, "When a chance celebrity social media encounter inspires a hopeless romantic, single, working mom to write a romance feature screenplay, she’s forced to deal with the possibility of life imitating words." Our intention is to begin pre-production on the film this year and shoot in New Orleans, Louisiana (a film incentive state). We believe this social media-infused, modern, diverse love story will be attractive to a consistently devoted, young female demographic (age 18-38) who enjoy romance films of the Nicholas Sparks variety.
We are confident in the quality of the script and the feel-good story it tells. Direct Message was recently named a Finalist in the Southern California Screenplay Competition and a Semi-Finalist in the New York Short Film & Screenplay Competition. Talmarc Productions, a company with proven and recent success with films in this genre, has agreed to partner with me on producing this film. Lastly, Archstone Distribution, a sales and distribution company focused on delivering high-quality theatrical films to the world-wide audience has confirmed its intention to act as distributor upon post-production completion. With this in mind, we could be in a position to offer you a quality rate of return in line with or superior to Talmarc's recent romance feature releases.
