KILLER CARGO - Act 1

🎧 KILLER CARGO | Act One | Written by Heather Foster Christmas Eve. Springfield, Missouri. One luxury jet. One secret shipment. One spectacularly bad idea. For flight attendant Anita Fitzgerald, the night is already complicated. She's sleeping with a married captain, dodging the advances of an insufferable copilot, and trying to survive another holiday in the service of the obscenely wealthy. Then three nervous men board with a six-foot, frosted-white container. Nobody will say what's inside. Nobody wants to be near it. And somewhere over Missouri, something starts moving. KILLER CARGO is a…

SuburbaKnight - Act 3
SUBURBAKNIGHT: Act Three Walter Knope has spent most of his life avoiding confrontation. That is about to become difficult. Walter, Samantha and Bobby Joe cross the street armed with a sword, a crossbow, a mace, a revolver and one deeply impractical suit of medieval armor. Richard is waiting. So is the rest of the neighborhood. Inside Richard's house they discover the party has evolved into something considerably less HOA-approved. Music. Neon. Blood. An orgy full of succubi. Richard sitting above it all like Satan's sexiest homeowners association president. Samantha asks where her daughter…

He wants everything Walter has. Walter tries to warn Sam. It goes badly.

The school is still marching, still saluting, still shining brass and barking orders into the Florida heat, but the center is gone. Colonel Barnes is dying. Commander Patterson knows it. Sally knows it. And the boys, even when they are laughing too hard to say it out loud, can feel the whole place slipping into history.

But the world is already inside the school. It is in the news from Cuba. It is in the old munitions bunkers by the bay. It is in the secrets the adults keep, the wounds they drink through, and the wars they keep handing down to children.

GATEWAY 3 & 4
The deeper we go, the stranger it gets. GATEWAY: Three & Four is now live. A missing scientist. A military experiment losing control. A government program based on real declassified files that suggests the human mind may not simply imagine other places, other times, or other dimensions. It may be able to reach them. At a moment when UAP disclosures, intelligence programs, government secrecy, and the unknown are no longer living at the edge of the conversation, GATEWAY feels less like science fiction and more like a classified question we were never supposed to ask out loud. Inspired by the…

PV & FRANNY - Part 2
PV & FRANNY A girl with a glockenspiel. A boy with a guitar. A high school full of weirdos, mascots who may or may not be unhinged, and a mystery that isn’t what anyone thinks it is. A dead-serious love story… that refuses to behave like one. One flier turns into a band. One band turns into obsession. And before they ever play a real set, everything is already ridiculous. ACT TWO If Act One is about starting a band, Act Two is about what happens when everything immediately gets in the way. Franny does what any rational person would do. He writes a love song. Which would be fine… except for…

Caravaggio - Act 3
The cage breaks open. Caravaggio breaks with it. Chained in a torture chamber beneath the fortress, Caravaggio faces the Grand Master one last time. Faith against flesh. Obedience against desire. What follows is an escape down a fortress wall, a boat in the dark, and a fugitive painter running not toward freedom but toward the only thing he has left. Act Three is the fall. Brutal. Beautiful. Inevitable. Sicily. Caravaggio paints like a man on fire. In Syracuse, a burial. In Messina, a nativity. Each canvas more desperate than the last. Each one a confession he cannot say out loud. The genius…

Caravaggio - Act 2
Malta. A fortress carved from rock, surrounded by sea, ruled by warrior monks who pray at dawn and kill by noon. Caravaggio arrives to paint a portrait. He stays because he has no choice. The Grand Master offers sanctuary, admiration, and something neither man is prepared to name. The Captain at Arms offers suspicion, jealousy, and a locked door every night. Act Two is the cage. Beautiful. Suffocating. Holy. Caravaggio paints the Grand Master's portrait and captures more than armor and scars. He captures a man's loneliness. The Knights throw a feast in his honor. He dances on tables. He is…

Caravaggio - Act 1
Caravaggio, the brilliant outlaw painter whose genius made him famous and whose violence made him a fugitive. Rome, 1610. The city is loud, corrupt, holy, and dangerous. Caravaggio thrives in it. Act One drops you straight into the night everything breaks. Inside a dark Roman chapel, Caravaggio confronts his greatest rival and exposes a truth the Church is not ready to control. God does not live in perfection. God lives in flesh, shadow, and brutal light. Outside the church, Rome answers back. Wine turns into provocation. Desire turns into rivalry. Old grudges sharpen. A debt comes due. What…

Rome. 1610. A painter who sees God in the faces of prostitutes and killers is on the run for murder. His name is Caravaggio. He drinks too much. He loves recklessly. Men, women, it doesn't matter. He picks fights with swordsmen and screams at the heavens in candlelit chapels. He paints the way other men pray, except his prayers are in defiance. And the Catholic Church can't decide whether to pardon him or let the bounty hunters finish the job. This screenplay by Richard Vetere, a Pulitzer nominee and Golden Palm winner whose work has been produced by Francis Ford Coppola, follows Caravaggio…
