This one is one of my favorites but a little hard to explain....
The Last Green Place
The earth in the future (however this is not revealed till the very end of the film). It is desolate and the only life (or at least the government says) is humanity kept alive by huge nutrient enriched air plants. The majority of the human race is working in huge factories producing little black boxes for 12 hours a day. However there is a rumor of a place. A green place. The last green place. The last tree on earth. The government tries to dispel the rumor and stop its ringleaders before there is a rebellion but in the words of those have faith: soon all will be revealed...

New-old film ideas II
Boadicea
This is not actually told from the point of view of Boadicea but instead from the point of view of one of her two daughters. It charts the warrior queen's rise to power and the brutal treatment of her people to her death in an epic battle but there's a twist. Despite the joyful persecution of the Britons one Roman believes that what they are doing is wrong and falls in love with our storyteller. A forbidden affair that will put both in grave danger as they decide where their loyalties lie.

New-old film ideas (or is that Old-new?)
These are some ideas I had on my original page on facebook. I'm now adding them to the Film ideas page.
The Lost Script (admittedly needs a better name)
As young child Elizabeth was never allowed in her grandfather's attic. Why? What was he hiding? Skip ahead 12 years and as she helps her Grandfather pack to move she cant resist the opportunity to take a peek into this forbidden crevice of the old house. She is amazed when she opens the hatch to discover piles of papers and boxes with photos all over the walls. Picking the top sheet of one pile of paper she begins to read. It's a film script. Transfixed she sits there leafing through it until her grandfather calls her to go. Quickly she puts it back and rushes down the stairs but now she's hooked. Why did her grandfather never make the film? Why wont he speak about his past life? Can she produce the film from the lost script?
