The Death of Innocents Written by Jacob Epstein, based on the book by Sister Helen Prejean ("Dead Man Walking")

This gripping drama takes us back to the 1986 murder trial and eventual 1997 execution of a Virginia man, Joseph O'Dell. We retrace the steps of this particular case, and in the process, begin to see the myriad of loopholes and pitfalls that seem to be inherent in the American justice system. The question is posed; Are we searching for an absolute system of unwavering laws or are we searching for justice? Are those two concepts in conflict with one another?

PARANOIA written by Lorenzo Minoli

A family drama with comedic elements, PARANOIA is the story of a tight-knit family whose closest friend--and the godfather of their preteen son--is gay. Exploring the many ways in which "gay" is defined today, PARANOIA follows the main characters as they make the decision to reveal to the boy his godfather's "secret". Recreating a scenario that plays itself out daily in towns across America, the script offers a poignant and, at times, funny look at how friends, families and our culture deal with the issue. Lorenzo Minoli is slated to direct the project.

HOW DO I LOVE THEE written by Susu Erca

We have all heard the famous line "How do I love thee, let me count the ways". But who wrote it? And for whom? HOW DO I LOVE THEE brings to life the true and extraordinary story behind that famous poem.

It is Victorian England and Elizabeth Barrett lives a shut-in existence suffering from an unknown condition that has left her bedridden for five years. The eldest daughter of an irrational widower, Elizabeth stays connected to the world beyond her four bedroom walls through her published poems and lively letters. As the story opens, Elizabeth, now in her late thirties, knows it would be sheer folly to dream of romance even if her wealthy father were to allow it--which he wouldn't. So when an unexpected note arrives from a young poet named Robert Browning, Elizabeth has no idea how much her life is about to change. What follows is nothing short of a miracle--an enduring and deep love that heals her both body and soul.

Yet Elizabeth's extraordinary rebirth comes with an impossible choice to make--between family loyalty and her heart.

"If I leave all for thee, wilt though exchange and be all to me?...Nay, wilt thou fill that place by me which is filled by dead eyes too tender to know change? That's hardest. If to conquer love has tried, to conquer grief tries more as all things prove; For grief indeed is love and grief beside. Alas, I have grieved so I am hard to love."
