Comic-Cons
When everything is taken away from you, what paths do you follow to redemption?
This is the issue Lewis Sawyer faces in Comic- Cons. In our story, Lewis is double-crossed by a trusted friend, and is forced to watch his betrayer’s success from behind bars. Once released from prison, he is led on a path where his only option becomes vindication.
With the influences of books such as Alexander Dumas’ “The Count of Monte Cristo” and heist films like “Ocean’s 11” the audience will follow the journey of Lewis from a wronged man who wishes to stay on the right side of the law, to orchestrating one of the largest heists in American history.
All this, set against the backdrop of the worlds largest comic book convention filled with cosplay, celebrity parties, and crowds of nerds. Please enjoy the story we have envisioned to make Lewis Sawyer and his companions into a film worth conning your way into.

War of Wings
War of Wings looks at the war in Heaven from an interesting perspective. It finds it foundation in the biblical mythology and apocrypha, but it shares more in common with science fiction as a genre. It grounds itself in a genre space that captivates the viewer with a fresh visual and narrative take on a familiar and foundational story. War of Wings is about a revolutionary hero overthrowing an oppressive regime run by a priesthood and courtiers to an absentee king. The hero does it for the good of the masses, only to find he has lost control of the situation, miscalculated dreadfully and started a cascade of irrevocable consequences... There’s a morality tale at its core, but War of Wings defies the normal genre boundaries. It’s unexpected and will entice a wider viewing audience. It poses philosophical questions about the nature of, war, politics, power, love, commitment, conviction, and faith ... none of them easily answered or dismissed
And, of course, the revolutionary hero is Lucifer.
