Synopsis/Details
Note: During the current Script Revolution site upgrade (Sep-25), if this is hard to read, view this image: https://www.integerentertainment.com/beecroft/beecroft_synopsis_scriptrevolution.jpg The "Beecroft Series" so far, with dream cast suggestions: (Also available as one-hour Pilot + nine Episodes + Full Bible) The Hag of Beecroft (96pp): Glenn Close The Vampyre of Beecroft (104pp): Rose Byrne The Rougarou of Beecroft (102pp): Bill Nighy The Boogieman of Beecroft (98pp): Ron Perlman The Fortune Teller of Beecroft (104pp): Angela Bassett These screenplays represent a series of (so far) five campfire-creepy coming-of-age stories in which my pre-adolescent heroes deal with baddies both of the human kind (bullies, dealers and bigots) and paranormal kind (magic, myth and monsters): As if poverty in a tough neighborhood isn’t bad enough! Set somewhere between “Harry Potter” and “Stranger Things”, this modestly-budgeted series is suitable for the tweens and up crowd and could generate gigabytes of social media. And, like many stories that feature youngsters as the pivotal characters, you can cast well-known performers in the adult roles to enhance the appeal to mature audiences. Note: While it is felt strongly that Beecroft is a fun “kids series with big scares in it”, as opposed to a “scary grown-up series with kids in it”, the stories are not appropriate for very young children. For example, when the little old witch does her witchy thing on the bad guys, it could make such kids wary of their grandmothers! As well, some serious issues are exposed obliquely or head-on throughout the stories: Racism, drugs, death, elder/child abuse, etc. Locations: School, seniors retirement home, apartment building, all set in a poorer area of town. Producers: Parts 1-3 have been fully costed-out, shooting schedules done, and sales forecasts prepared.

The Writer: Steve Garry

I'm an incorporated businessperson, operating as Integer Entertainment, who's actively pursuing attachments for my smaller scale projects before I work my way up. While the status of my scripts here may read 'For Sale', for all but the blockbuster-sized budget titles I'm more likely to be seeking producers, talent and investor collaborators, as a co-producer or EP, wherein I'd bring my screenplay as well as a finance plan, budget, shooting schedule, package elements, and some funding to the table. In addition, with a decade of pitching behind me and being read hundreds of times, I may have connections to enhance the resources that you have available. Don't hesitate to approach me with this… Go to bio
