Abigail: Tale of a Vampire

An idea for what a hybrid prequel/sequel to Abigail could be like, similar to The Godfather Part II/Interview with the Vampire, exploring the origins of Abigail and the human/girl side to her, though a more dramatic and serious take compared to the original Abigail movie.

The Life Beyond

Margot, a young famed prodigal ballet dancer seems like she may have it all... but she sees herself to be missing something and trapped within a metaphorical box in a suburban bubble. When she encounters another strange girl named Annabelle, who longs for a life of love and companionship, the two set off on a journey to a place where they can discover who they are meant to be, forming a close bond along the way.

The Portrait of Abigail Bennett

An aspiring young actress from a middle-class suburb is whisked away to LA when she is discovered by a famous talent agent. While she may believe this is her dream come true, she realizes that being a star isn't all rainbows and flowers as she faces her own internal struggles, from love to self-identity- and whether she will rise to stardom or lose it all. A blend of coming of age story, psychological drama, and dark comedy, with some elements of magic realism and fantasy.

Florida

In a dystopian and authoritarian "Free State of Florida", the Chancellor rules with an iron first to create his vision of a theocratic and kleptocratic nation. This is reinforced by book bans, censorship, and retaliation against those who oppose. One girl who dreams of a fantasy world where she can be herself strives to break free of this oppressive society, while coming face-to-face with her fears inside and outside. Inspired by Terry Gilliam's Brazil, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and The Pedestrian, George Orwell's 1984, V for Vendetta, and the political climate in Florida.

Pink Violet

A girl, trapped in an oppressive society and stuggling with her own identity, dreams of escaping to a distant land where she can be her true self. One day, she inadvertently crosses paths with another girl of much higher social status-only to find out that she has the same dream. Together, the two embark on a journey to a new world- all while in pursuit of the authorities, while discovering themselves in a complex and emotional relationship. Inspired by Bridge to Terabithia, Moonrise Kingdom, James and the Giant Peach.

The Blonde Angel

When a famed socialite daughter of a wealthy family is abducted, her family and the media are scrambling to locate her. While in captivity, she realizes that many other girls are missing as the same time, but the media and public never called for their rescue- and she has to rescue them and herself while seeking justice for the other victims and finding the dark truth. This film is a satire of rescue-the-girl action thrillers such as Taken, Man on Fire, The Call, or any action thriller with Liam Neeson or Nicolas Cage. Much like in real-life high-profile abduction cases, these movies often fall with the trope of missing white woman syndrome- the vast majority of these movies have victims that are white, blonde, wealthy, and innocent- while victims who are people of color and/or poor are often left in the shadows. This film will instead be a psychological neo-noir thriller focusing on the victim's point of view rather than that of the rescuer, in addition to being filmed in black-and-white a la Sin City.

Infinity Rainbow

This is a rough idea for an animated musical fantasy film about a girl with autism. Unlike Sia's Music, this will be a film with authentic representation of those with autism and other neurodivergent disorders, as well as humor and a heartwarming story. Still figuring out characters and plot.

Colors of the Rainbow

(Character Pictures made with Picrew. Credits to creator @hunblooms in character profiles.) Plot: Set in the suburbs of Chicago, Eleanor, a young transgender girl, moves into a wealthy suburb after she escaped from her previous household. While adjusting to her new adoptive mother Meredith, she and her new stepsister Alyssa must navigate through the coming of age while exploring love, social problems, friendship, and their own identities. This is an idea for an animated sitcom that manages to be humorous and interesting while still including authentic diversity and LGBTQ+ representation without relying too much on stereotypes. Basically, what Q-Force wanted to but failed to be. Inspired by The Boondocks and Duckman, this show would deal with coming-of-age, romance, gender, identity, politics, social issues, etc., with a unique comedic touch. May include some elements of dark humor and maybe even a bit of fantasy. Theme song: Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) by Kate Bush Inspired by: The Boondocks, Genera+ion, Duckman, BoJack Horseman, Regular Show, Close Enough

The Girl and Her Princess

Inspired by Moonrise Kingdom and other similar stories. A twist on traditional fairy tale romances, this is the story about a young village girl who only wants to pursue her own dreams while her parents wish to marry her off. That all changed when she visits the nearby kingdom and meets the princess, her life makes a turnaround as she and the princess form a loving bond. But as both of their families don't exactly see eye to eye, both girls must question their own traditions to save their relationship.

No Mercy

A role reversal and satire of damsel-in-distress action thrillers like Taken and many Nic Cage movies. This psychological thriller tells the story of Mercy, an aspiring young actress whose life is severely damaged when she is abducted by a criminal ring. The abuse she suffers causes her to become insane, and while this causes her to turn the tables and be able to rescue herself, the damage has caused he to become severely violent against anyone she believes to have "toxic masculinity". Unlike Taken, the story is told from the victim's point of view rather than focusing on the action of the hero.
