Synopsis/Details
The mysterious nature of the many pyramids found around the world and their ambiguous origins form the backdrop for our story. Mix in some ideas from ancient biblical texts about the “sons of god”, along with Zechariah Sitchin and his belief in a rogue planet in our solar system and mysterious beings and you have a creepy science fiction tale about the origins of our world and species. What would happen if there was a planet that passed by thousands of years ago and how they left inhabitants here to live until the planet returns. How would they hide in plain sight? How would they survive? What role did the pyramids serve? What if the planet was now returning? Set in 1995 before the internet and information superhighway, before something as big as this could still be hidden by those left behind and inserted in governmental positions. Archaeologist Leo Ford is close to the truth about the pyramids and the beings that built them. And the truth he uncovers is more frightening than he could have imagined.

The Writer: Brian Lajeunesse

What sort of stories do you get from someone who grew up in Montreal, played in a death metal band in the early 90's, has a theology degree, served as a pastor and worked as an electric line-worker in southern New Hampshire for 20 years? You get a wealth of interesting characters and experiences that only now are making it out onto paper. I attempted my first screenplay when I was 48. It was... terrible. The idea was solid but I had no idea what I was doing. I've since written three features and I think you can see the steady improvement. I've since completed a pilot that I believe encapsulates that first idea and I'm excited for the possibilities. I've tried with each of my projects to… Go to bio
