EAT THE RICH

Coverfly All-time Overall Top 17%

​​LOGLINE

When extradimensional beings possess the global elite to form a terrifying New World Order, Christina discovers her true identity—and must choose between seizing absolute power or saving humanity and the one man who made her believe in it.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT SERIES:

Wealth inequality isn’t fiction—it’s just horror in slow motion. Eat The Rich turns class warfare into high-concept sci-fi that slices through our moment like a scalpel. It’s smart, brutal, and unflinchingly honest about what happens when the system is rigged—and you stop playing nice.

CHEAT CODE KIDS

PART 1 - LEGEND OF THE GAME WORLD   

LOGLINE
​

Two brothers, Tobi and Bug, whose rivalry in gaming spills into their real lives, are sucked into a hyper-realistic game world where they must confront their differences and work together to escape, discovering valuable lessons about family and self-worth along the way.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT SERIES:
​

We live in a hacked world, and nostalgia has teeth. Cheat Code Kids taps into the millennial reset button—where friendship, ambition, and morality glitch in a system that rewards shortcuts. It’s tech, crime, and heart in one fast-paced package, made for the TikTok-scarred attention span.​

DEMON KNIGHTS

Coverfly All-time Overall Top 22%

LOGLINE

When Trace considers leaving her gang, she is forced to stand by them as they are wrongly accused of banishing the Antichrist to Hell, which leads them on a perilous journey, where they must fight gangs of supernatural foes, race against time, and prove their innocence.​​

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT SERIES:
​

Horror is finally being used to say something real. Demon Knights delivers terrifying genre thrills with modern soul, exploring power, trauma, and moral decay in a world that feels too familiar. Truthfully,  the real horror today is how broken the world feels—and Demon Knights turns that fear into fuel. It’s a genre-bending gut punch that tackles trauma, extremism, and moral decay through characters we root for and monsters we recognize. Scary, smart, and socially charged, it’s horror with something to say—and the guts to say it.

MIRROR FOR THE SUN

LOGLINE
​

After his ex-gang member father is killed, a Black teen surfer from Compton flees to Hawaii with his dad’s board, only to face local hostility, culture clashes, and the lure of his past as he fights to find his place in the waves—and within himself.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:

In a world where representation still lags behind reality, Mirror for the Sun centers a young Black surfer in a narrative that’s not about gangs or glory, but healing, identity, and generational love. It flips coastal culture on its head and blends urban grit with oceanic soul — and in a media landscape starved for fresh voices and visual poetry, this one surges with power and heart.
​
Surf culture has never looked like this—and it should. Mirror for the Sun rides the wave of representation, giving voice to a Black teen finding peace in a place the world says he doesn’t belong. At a time when young people are redefining masculinity, identity, and legacy, this film is both a tribute and a revolution.

LOGLINE
​

Madison fights to escape the torture of a holy predicament as her strict, religious mother, Faith, attributes teenage angst to demonic possession.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:

The line between faith and fear is razor thin—and too often, kids pay the price. Unorthodox captures the silent horror of growing up under religious extremism with a terrifying modern lens. As society questions what control looks like in families and institutions, this story slices through the noise like only horror can.

BROKEN ORNAMENTS

LOGLINE
​

A picture-perfect woman’s holiday chaos turns magical when her new rugged, mysterious, transient neighbor teaches her to embrace imperfection, leading her to wonder if he’s really Santa Claus or just the gift she didn’t know she needed.​

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

Connection has never felt more fragile—or more necessary. Broken Ornaments is a raw, redemptive look at grief, love, and the messiness of family, wrapped in the bittersweet backdrop of Christmas. As the world aches for healing and honesty, this film offers a rare kind of hope: imperfect, earned, and deeply human.

BUNKER DOWN

LOGLINE
​

As America spirals into chaos, a hardline conservative father barricades his fractured family inside their home, but with a rebellious liberal son, a defiant daughter, and a wife desperate to break free, the real war is within.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

Fear doesn’t just live outside anymore—it lives in our homes, in our relationships, and in our inability to trust each other. Bunker Down turns global panic into an intimate nightmare, exposing the fragile illusions of control, protection, and truth. In an age of lockdowns, conspiracy, and fraying family ties, this film hits a nerve we’re still recovering from.​

INHERENT FAITH

LOGLINE
​

When a cynical, vice-ridden carpenter learns he must give up all his bad habits and “find God” within a year to inherit his late mother-in-law’s $50 million fortune — or forfeit it to her dog — he fakes his faith to cash in… but accidentally finds redemption instead.​

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

Audiences are craving redemptive stories that are actually funny. Inherent Faith balances sharp humor with spiritual depth — no preaching, just honest messiness and real transformation. At a time when people are questioning institutions but still longing for connection, this film offers a laugh-out-loud reminder that grace doesn’t come wrapped in perfection. It’s about hope, healing, and how sometimes, pretending to believe leads you somewhere real. 
​
Inherent Faith offers a wild, funny, deeply human take on transformation—perfect for a world craving hope, but allergic to sugarcoating. It’s faith for the rest of us: flawed, chaotic, and surprisingly holy.​

​LOOK AT ME NOW

LOGLINE
​

​
A carefree male escort and a driven businesswoman find their lives intertwined by fate, leading to a journey of self-discovery, unexpected romance, and the realization that true fulfillment comes from embracing life's serendipitous moments.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

In a world obsessed with image, this story dares to ask what’s real. Look At Me Now is a visceral ride through fame, trauma, and reinvention—told through the eyes of a woman who refuses to be erased. Set against the high-gloss world of influencers and hidden abuse, it’s about a survivor reclaiming her voice, her body, and her power.
​
This is a story about truth in a filtered world. About resilience, rebirth, and refusing to stay silent. Bold, current, and painfully honest--Look At Me Now is exactly the kind of film this moment is calling for.

ROUGH-N-TUMBLE NIGHT

LOGLINE
​

Circa 1995, Nick escapes his dull suburban life for a night out in the city with his reckless friends, RK and Mickey, but his thrill-seeking adventure quickly turns into a high-octane clash with danger, betrayal, and mayhem deep within the city's shadowy and sinister underworld.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

Thrill-seeking youth culture is real—and Rough-N-Tumble Night doesn’t flinch. It’s a gritty, pulse-pounding look at rebellion, privilege, and what happens when the fantasy of street life crashes into the truth. Raw, stylish, and urgent, it speaks to the TikTok generation with the honesty they crave.

DOLLFACE

LOGLINE
​

A serial killer dons a doll’s face over his own, abducting children and preserving their lifeless bodies as his personal collection of dolls, but when an unexpected child arrives at his doorstep, his twisted lifestyle takes a new turn.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

Dollface confronts the quiet, generational violence we pretend not to see. In a world where trauma is inherited, identity is policed, and children carry unspoken scars, this film delivers a haunting, empathetic scream. It's horror with a heart — a chilling fairytale about broken cycles, told through the eyes of those society discards. Visually bold, emotionally raw, and unforgettable.

Robel Douglas is labeled a villain after a robbery and must evade a relentless cop while a determined journalist uncovers hidden truths that challenge societal biases and stereotypes.​

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

We’re drowning in apathy—and this film is a fist to the chest. Bold, urgent, and defiantly human, Change The F*cking World reflects the real rage, real grief, and real hope that defines this moment. This screenplay promises a thrilling narrative underscored by its anti-stereotype and anti-racism subtext, making it both emotionally charged and socially relevant. Change The F*cking World captures the fire of a generation that’s done playing nice. It's not just a call to action—it is the action. ​

LOGLINE
​

When a free-spirited owner of a popular marijuana dispensary enlists his estranged son to work for him, they soon find themselves in a heart-pumping race against time as the shop becomes the ultimate battleground between law enforcement and ruthless criminals. 

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

Cannabis has gone corporate, but the culture’s story hasn’t caught up. Get In Where You Fit In isn’t about stoner stereotypes — it’s about family, change, and the soul of a movement. As legalization sweeps the globe, this film captures the moment: the clash between old-school heart and new-school hustle. It’s funny, fresh, and grounded in love — the kind of story that gets high on meaning, not just smoke. As legalization grows, this is the only weed story that hits the heart.

​Dan vows to find his best friend Tiffany’s missing fiancé, Gunnar, but when Tiffany learns Dan is Heather, Gunnar’s sadistic captor, she and Gunnar are trapped in a nightmarish house where terrifying secrets unravel.


WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

Identity is the battleground of our era. Dancing With Myself explores repression, duality, and love gone sideways in a genre-bending thriller. As conversations around gender, mental health, and trauma evolve, this film dives deep—with sharp teeth and a bleeding heart.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR NAME ​

LOGLINE
​

In a post-apocalyptic world, Lilly becomes convinced by Adam that they have been brought together by a divine power with the purpose of repopulating the world, but when Nia arrives, the Humanimals that stalk them are the least of their worries. 

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

Survival stories shouldn’t all look the same. Do You Know Your Name? centers a lead we’ve never seen before — and in doing so, reclaims the genre. It’s stripped-down sci-fi with real-world resonance: isolation, identity, resilience, and the monsters we become when humanity fractures. In a post-pandemic world full of uncertainty and division, this story challenges what it means to live, remember, and belong. At a time when the world is asking who gets to survive, this film answers with style and soul.​

JUX'S POSITION

CHARACTER INSPIRED BY: TOM SIZEMORE *IP secured

LOGLINE
​

​
The CIA’s most deadly assassin, a woman with multiple personalities, hides from the world in a mental institution, but when she’s pulled back into action to find her kidnapped daughter, we see how each of her personalities aids in her execution as a powerful mercenary.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

Jux’s Position puts mental health front and center—boldly, unapologetically. At its core is Jux, a woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder who doesn’t just survive her fractured mind—she embraces it. Each identity becomes a weapon in her arsenal as she tears through the corrupt systems that failed her and races to save her kidnapped daughter from a Mexican cartel.

In an era begging for authentic representation, this film flips the script on how we see mental illness—not as weakness, but as power. Jux doesn’t want to be fixed. She wants to fight. And in doing so, she becomes one of the most emotionally charged, socially urgent antiheroes of our time.
​
This film doesn’t ask permission. It kicks down the door and demands we see women like Jux—complex, dangerous, loving—as the heroes they are.

SHABU

Coverfly All-time Overall Top 18%

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS *IP secured

​

A young mother is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse when her husband convinces her to become a contract killer for the government, but when the cartel brutally takes his life and kidnaps her children, she embarks on a fierce and relentless vigilante mission to rescue her kids, at any cost.

WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE:
​

This isn’t fiction—it’s based on the true story of a mother who went to the ends of the earth for her children. Shabu is more than a drug war—it’s a mother’s war for survival. Set in a Philippine shantytown gripped by poverty, government corruption, and state-sanctioned killings, this is a raw, unflinching portrait of life at the edge.

At its heart is Aimee—a mother, a fighter, a woman who refuses to break. This film is about the power of women in chaos, the strength of family in a system built to destroy it, and the fight to stay human in an inhumane world.
​
Gritty, urgent, and true--Shabu demands to be seen now.
