You lost me at "karaoke."(posted by Alissa)
Logline: Charged with stalking his dream girl, Charlie relies on best friend Shania to help win her over. But scheming Shania secretly loves Charlie, and her "helpful advice" seeks to make Charlie fall in love with her instead.
Synopsis:
What would you do to win over the person of your dreams?
Hopeless idealist and anime aficionado Charlie Welshman will do anything to win Flavia's heart. But after being convicted of stalking his dream girl, his best friend and roommate Shania, takes over responsibility for him. A no-nonsense junior accountant, Shania promises to help Charlie achieve nirvana by giving him the social tools needed to win Flavia over.
But Shania has dreams of her own, and her "help" is really designed to cure Charlie of his Flavia fantasy by making him fall in love with her instead. Unfortunately her plans tend to backfire in unexpected ways, and she ends up giving him genuine confidence that he can steal Flavia's heart. Desperate to stop this from happening, Shania convinces Flavia's ex, Seth, to get back together with Flavia again. After seeing Flavia with Seth, a discouraged Charlie finally agrees to seek treatment for his Flavia "addiction."
When the person treating Charlie reveals that Shania loves him, Charlie, angered by her betrayal, breaks off their friendship. But he soon realizes that Shania holds the key to winning Flavia, since only she knows what makes a girl fall in love with him. Charlie and Shania cut a deal whereby Shania will help Charlie get a genuine shot at winning over Flavia by helping him put his best foot forward. If it doesn't work out, then Charlie agrees to be with Shania.
On Shania's advice, they got to a karaoke bar where Charlie sings his heart out for Flavia, Flavia recompenses him with a smile. Shania, who realizes the game is up, runs away, heartbroken. Charlie searches for her desperately but can't find her. He calls 911 but before he can report her as a missing person he receives a text message from Flavia asking to meet in the park. Charlie runs off, dropping his cell phone. When Shania returns to the apartment and reads the message on his cell, she swallows a bottle of painkillers and lies down to die, facing the setting sun.
The movie ends with Charlie and Flavia in the park, walking into the sunset, as the haunting siren of the ambulance carrying a dying Shania fades out in the distance.

Loyalist Hussy
I think it would be an injustice not to make a movie with such a catchy title. And set in 1780.(posted by Alissa)
"Five years into the American Revolution, an unyielding headhunter from Washington's Army sets out on a violent, determined trek across the Northeast to find the elusive prostitute accusing him of conspiring with British forces."
John Winslow, a Loyalist headhunter for the Continental Army, hunts down an elusive prostitute after she soils his name to his superiors. The prostitute, a Loyalist, has accused Winslow of betraying the American rebellion in order to undermine his success. Winslow, shocked and outraged at the hussy's attack, vows to silence the girl. Over the course of his long, violent trek, he callously risks his life, and the lives of others, in order to complete this personal mission. The story takes place in October of 1780, taking the characters from upstate New York to the coast of Rhode Island.

Knots
Oooooohhhohoaooorororororooeohr;hf
Sorry I got carried away. That is not exactly a ghost noise. But here we are with another creative ghost story. Haunted furniture... imagine the action. The suspense. The cracking varnish as the loveseat dons a wicked smile...
OKay I am getting too excited. Here's the query:
Query for "Knots"
"Haunting spirits push four families down the chilliing path of their antique furniture till they reach the same location and horrific discovery from where the wood orginated. Together they try to right the wrong and settle the spirits in an attempt to get their lives back to normal."
Genre: Super Natural/Ghost Story
Four seperate families purchase antique furniture from seperate vendors. Then find out over time that the furniture is haunted because of the past of the wood and from where it was harvested. They all set out in seperate directions, only to find themselves together in the same town. All with the same knowledge of the spirits or so they think.
I would like to submit this screenplay for your consideration and can be contacted as listed below.

Lifesaver
Wait... what? Mr McLau- Charlie, if I may: sometimes it helps to give just a little more information in your query. Your reader, then will be left saying "I want to hear more!" instead of "Wait... what?" Just some constructive criticism.
"An arrogant businessman takes a nightmarish, life changing trip to a wacky island full of the bizarre and macabre where anything can and probably will happen in this offbeat supernatural comedy simply because he failed to read the brochure..."
Genre: Comedy
Roger Mills is sent on an urgent business trip to save his job, company and upcoming wedding. However, Roger is struck on the head by a strange bolt of blue lightning that has a life altering effect on him. First to go his is luck; it goes from incredible to no luck at all. He has a hell of a time reaching the island and once there if he thought his troubles were over; he had better think again as he is arrested and charged with the ancient law of Lifesaving.

KUNG FU JESUS
That word "polishing" always gets me. Means the script is nice and tight. I don't see how this simple plot could not be in such a state. I know my co-quarrier cory (oh man that is an awesome set of words) is going to want to consider this for a table read.
We have just finished polishing KUNG FU JESUS, a comedy which follows Jesus, after the resurrection, permanently returned to earth. He is bestowed the powers of kung fu and time travel. The stress of family added with the constant badgering by Pontius Pilate, compel Kung Fu Jesus into the future. Wherein, he connects with many colorful characters and also finds himself caught in the cross hairs of corporate recruitment and IRS investigations. Trapped in this double life, biblical and modern, Kung Fu Jesus is perilously close to wrecking God's Plan.
