Synopsis/Details: 

"Apocalypto" meets "Jurassic Park"!

From the success of the recent Jurassic World and its many lesser imitators, it seems that the public never grows tired of dinosaurs!

Set in the days just before the arrival of the White Man, this is the story of a great hunter and warrior, Ngomo Malumba, who heroically leads his people in battle against Africa's legendary monsters that according to myth live among its vast uncharted mountains, swamps and rainforests.

"Thunder Lizards of the Bakongo" is a high octane actioner set against the unforgettable beauty of Africa's wilderness. When a distant natural disaster causes monsters to invade the village of Numbani just as Ngomo weds lovely Iola, he and his courageous fighters face the fearsome adversaries virtually hand-to-hand, without access to gunpowder, lasers or mechanical weapons of war.

If you'd like to view this unusual but heroic story, which has significant franchise and alternate media (ie. graphic novel) potential, I look forward to sending it to you. (Also available as Pilot + Episode One)

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', I'm just as likely to be seeking producers/talent/investors to collaborate with, as a co-producer or EP, wherein I'd be bringing my screenplay as well as package elements and perhaps 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 in mind. Flexibility, creativity and unconventional collaborations are... Go to bio
