Synopsis/Details: 

Tagline: Oh, why don't they just let the blasted things die out in peace!

In a near future world, when well-intended environmentalism is at its peak, imagine conservation laws that shut down machines at the most inconvenient of times, an unrequited romance between a conservationist and a farmer whose livelihood she inadvertently ruins, an anti-rewilding terrorist running amuck, and a Great Beaver War that foreshadows an animal apocalypse:

Lieutenant: "Damn! Beaten by an outsized rat. Run for your life!"

(But remember to turn off the lights before you go out)

Yes, "The Rewilders" starts with a bedtime story for two children, and includes lots of fuzzy animals and goofy bureaucrats: It's something a Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam would have fun with! But it also features a serious lesson about power in the hands of the few over the many, and especially the butterfly effect, in that through the comedic chaos we must recognize that Humanity has a position in the ecosystem, too.

If you'd like to view the script or detailed synopsis for this fun Pythonesque fable, which is set mostly in Scotland and could be done in full animation or live-action/CGI, I look forward to sending the PDFs to you.

I'm here to make films, not to gain endless options for my screenplays. I'm actively pursuing attachments for my smaller scale projects before I work my way up, so I'm looking for co-producers/investors. As a result of a decade of pitching and being read hundreds of times, I have connections to enhance the resources that you have available. Don't hesitate to approach me with this in mind! Flexibility, creativity and unconventional collaborations are necessary to make films. Go to bio
