None the Weiser
Format: Series (Comedy, Dark, Surreal)
Estimated Budget: $10-12M Per Episode | Budget Sheet
Predicates: the ruthless precision of House of Cards meets the dark hilarity of Barry
Synopsis:
When Alan P. Weiser, recent cuckold and unremarkable Congressman from Delaware's 2nd District, accidentally kills his oldest and best friend—the sitting President of the United States, Clayton L. Byrd—his world is shattered. But things take a surreal turn when Byrd reappears the very next day, alive, unscathed, and with no memory of the deadly events from the night before.
From this impossibility springs a whirlwind of conspiracies that defy logic and challenge the very fabric of reality. Pulled into this vortex, Weiser and his ragtag band of misfit allies—including an internet DJ, a troubled Iraq War vet, a conspiracy blogger, and his college-age daughter—must navigate a shadowy landscape where bad guys turn good, good guys meet untimely ends, and nothing is ever as it seems.
At its heart, None the Weiser explores the power of family—both natural and forged—to overcome differences and unite in the face of chaos. In an era where truth is malleable, paranoia reigns, and conspiracy is the norm, this dark comedy dives headfirst into a cultural sandbox filled with absurdity, intrigue, and humanity.
Brace yourself for a wild ride where the stakes are cosmic, but the laughs cut just as deep.

Who’s Killing Kevin
Format: Feature (Comedy, Dark, Thriller)
Estimated Budget: $15M | Budget Sheet
Predicates: 28 Days Later (apocalyptic road movie) meets Little Miss Sunshine (family-first dark comedy)
Synopsis:
What if, one day, you found the largest murder contract in history had been placed on your life...
The other side of that contract? The entire world.
Kevin, an unassuming everyman and perhaps the most average guy alive, is thrust into the spotlight when he becomes the target of a mind-bending, global conspiracy. The twist? The entire world is in on it—watching, betting, and even participating in a dark, crowd-sourced game of survival. With only his closest friends—a ragtag group of lovable misfits and mediocrities—by his side, Kevin sets off on a high-stakes journey across America to uncover the truth, face off against escalating chaos, and, somehow, save his own life.
The movie dives deep into the terrifying implications of artificial intelligence, the dystopian world of online murder contracts, rogue cryptocurrencies, and the viral power of memes to warp reality. Beneath the conspiracy and carnage lies a story about the bonds of friendship and family, forcing Kevin to redefine what matters most when the whole world wants him dead.
Who's Killing Kevin is a pulse-pounding, darkly comedic thrill ride that asks: how far would you go to survive when humanity itself is your enemy?

Rise Down
Format: Feature Film (Drama, Bleak, Haunting)
Budget: $1.5M | Budget Sheet
Predicates: Taxi Driver (bleak man-in-a-room drama) meets Memento (time-bending thriller)
Synopsis:
Paul and Eli have descended into a shadowy ideology that views murder as a form of healing. Isolated from society and shaped by cryptic rituals, the brothers develop their own unsettling language and customs on a derelict property in the woods. Yet, as their commitment to this twisted philosophy deepens, cracks begin to form.
Both men suffer mysterious blackouts, and as their psyches fragment, so does the narrative itself. Their bond is further tested when it becomes clear they interpret "the rules" of their belief system in irreconcilably different ways.
In Rise Down, the brothers’ descent is revealed to be a programmed undoing, the haunting legacy of buried trauma and manipulation. Rise Down is a disturbing exploration of belief, madness, and the devastating consequences of clinging to a fractured truth, as their unraveling threatens to consume not just their lives, but the very foundation of who—or what—they are.

Three Dreams about Waste
Format: Feature Film (Comedy, Bleak, Anthology)
Budget: $300K | Budget Sheet
Predicates: The Lobster (existential absurdist comedy) meets Babel (interconnected vignette drama)
Three Dreams about Waste weaves three interrelated short films, each peeling back the layers of a fractured corporate and moral ecosystem.
In the first story, an executive at an industrial waste company hides his guilt behind power and decadence. His firm’s leaking underground incinerators poison entire communities, yet his shame manifests in bizarre ways: confessions to call girls and a grotesque compulsion to consume literal trash. His fetish spirals out of control, leading to his complete personal and professional unraveling.
The second film shifts focus to an engineer at the same company who weaponizes his insider knowledge, blackmailing his employer for enormous bonuses. His paranoia turns claustrophobic when his homemade surveillance system reveals a chilling discovery: someone is entering his home at night, without any signs of entry or exit. The company denies involvement, instead questioning his sanity and threatening him into silence.
The third and final chapter centers on the chauffeur who cleans up the executive’s messes—literally. Tasked with disposing of the call girls’ bodies, he moonlights installing surveillance systems for secretive clients. His work intersects with the executive’s shadowy twin brother, a figure deep within the intelligence community. On what he hopes will be his final job, the chauffeur senses he’s being set up, his trust and survival hanging by a thread.
Through its interconnected stories, Three Dreams about Waste delves into the systems we create to sustain ourselves, and the byproducts they produce.
