At the Back of the North Wind is a fantasy drama adapted from George MacDonald’s classic novel, brought to the screen with mythic scope. Set against the fog-shrouded streets and tensions of 17th-century London, the screenplay centers on a fragile yet luminous child named Diamond, whose mysterious illness draws him into a series of encounters with a transcendent figure known only as the North Wind. What unfolds is not just a supernatural journey, but a sweeping exploration of love, loss, justice, and the invisible battle between mercy and judgment. Grounded in Dickensian realism and lifted by high-concept fantasy, this is a world of corrupt and broken systems, of spectral voices in the night…and of a child whose quiet goodness stands in quiet defiance of it all.

It’s a rare hybrid that evokes Pan’s Labyrinth, A Monster Calls, and The Secret Garden, while offering something wholly original.

Visually extraordinary: gothic cathedrals, spectral voyages, storm-lashed wharfs, melancholic yet luminous, harrowing yet full of wonder.

Magnificent! is a bold action-adventure that fuses gritty realism with unexpected humor. When a Philippine village is decimated by extremists, and a young American missionary escapes with her life, leaving her husband behind, her grandfather, a widowed, war-scarred former Green Beret and missionary, receives a call he can’t ignore. Long retired and half-forgotten in a senior living facility, Clint Rasp straps on his boots, rappels out a seventh-story window, and begins assembling a team of aging spiritual warriors for a mission no one’s sanctioned and no one thinks possible.

This isn’t just a rescue story, it’s a journey in the heart of darkness. As Clint recruits former comrades, including a truth-telling preacher who publicly rebukes his megachurch celebrity son, and a pilot with Parkinson’s but unshaken faith, the story moves with humor, heartbreak, and escalating urgency. Their destination: a jungle stronghold controlled by a brutal terrorist leader whose backstory reveals a twisted spiritual journey of his own.

With echoes of The Dirty Dozen, The Expendables, Hacksaw Ridge, and Gran Torino, Magnificent! offers a gripping, genre-crossing story for faith-based and secular audiences alike. It’s both an indictment and a rallying cry, a call to risk, to sacrifice, and to finish strong.

RING OF SHADOWS is a supernatural thriller drenched in ancient myth and modern dread. The story follows Allen Lake, a brash, gifted fencer from Los Angeles thrust into a waking nightmare when he accompanies his diplomat father to the UK. What begins with Olympic dreams and as a prestigious academic opportunity at Oxford quickly collapses into horror: a ghostly rider haunts him, ancient evil rises from a deceptively still lake, and the family legacy Allen never asked for begins claiming blood. When his parents are murdered under grotesque and unexplainable circumstances, Allen is thrown into a conspiracy of legendary scope, one that binds Arthurian bloodlines, Celtic deities, and a returning king whose arrival may either save the world or doom it.

THE SINGING PLACE is a deeply moving, emotionally resonant holiday drama that combines spiritual mystery, urban realism, and raw human compassion in a story unlike anything you’ve seen. Set in contemporary Los Angeles, it follows two marginalized men, Eddie, a developmentally disabled adult obsessed with a children’s book character, and Jorge, a Colombian hospital janitor whose puppets bring light to suffering children, as their separate struggles collide in a miraculous convergence of grace.

Jorge, a kind and devout man who has given his life to serving others, receives devastating news: his wife and daughter have been barred from entering the U.S. on false suspicions. The system he’s trusted turns against him, and in despair, Jorge descends into darkness. His faith shattered, his puppets discarded, his hope nearly drowned. Then something happens. Something luminous. And everything changes.

What makes THE SINGING PLACE stand out is its fusion of grounded, everyday hardship with sudden eruptions of the supernatural. It’s a script that moves fluidly between gritty cityscapes and transcendent visions, where divine intervention doesn’t arrive in blinding certainty but through battered faith and the quiet persistence of love. The writing is lean but lyrical, with moments of heartbreak that never tip into sentimentality. Every character is vivid, flawed, and true.

This is prestige cinema, emotionally intimate, socially conscious, and ultimately redemptive. It’s a Christmas story for people who no longer believe in Christmas stories. And in the end, it makes you want to believe again. It’s a rare thing: a story that reaches into the wreckage of modern life and finds something holy.

THE FOXBAT STRATEGY

1980. In the shadows of the Cold War, the Pentagon’s most decorated general is about to discover the greatest strategic mind he’s never heard of, a forgotten man in a crumbling warehouse with an army of tin soldiers and a genius for war.

The Foxbat Strategy is a gripping, darkly elegant Cold War thriller where espionage meets obsession. The story centers on Michael Norman Baroni, a reclusive, seemingly harmless janitor living among rusted mannequins, handmade war machines, and decades of simulated battles until his uncanny tactical brilliance is drawn into a deadly international game. When a Soviet assassin begins executing diplomats with ritualistic precision and paranoia infects the highest levels of American intelligence, Baroni becomes the unlikely keystone in a war neither side understands.

The Foxbat Strategy delivers espionage with a literary edge, blending the power of Tom Clancy and John le Carré with the thrills of The Bourne Identity, the humor of True Lies and the depth of Marathon Man

Tense, character-driven, and deeply cinematic, The Foxbat Strategy is a high-stakes psychological thriller with franchise potential, offering a layered, suspenseful narrative that speaks to power, paranoia, and the games we play, on tables and on battlefields.

Jude Karsen isn’t just a contract killer, he’s a ghost who’s made a career out of never leaving a trace. With over 140 kills to his name and no law enforcement agency ever suspecting him, Karsen’s confession should be the most explosive in FBI history. But there’s a problem: no evidence, no accomplices, no bodies, just a man with a bullet scar in his forehead and a story that’s either the unraveling of a madman or a window into the darkest corridors of American power.

From the sleek streets of Los Angeles to international conspiracies with CIA front companies masquerading as Christian aid groups, hitter dissects the machinery of murder-for-hire with unnerving precision. Told through chilling flashbacks and a mounting psychological interrogation, the film explores Karsen’s evolution from disillusioned Marine to philosophical assassin, unpacking the belief systems that rationalize atrocity…and the trauma that finally cracks them.

The script blends gritty procedural detail with meditative moral inquiry, placing it squarely in the tradition of cerebral thrillers like Collateral or The Insider. Karsen is not only a compelling antihero, he’s a vehicle for razor-edged commentary on justice, faith, moral relativism, and the shadow operations that governments deny but quietly depend on. What begins as a confession becomes a philosophical reckoning and possibly, the first move in a far greater game.

Stylishly structured, smartly written, and laced with dangerous irony, hitter delivers a gripping slow-burn narrative that keeps raising the stakes without relying on cliché. It’s a story that doesn’t just ask if evil can be justified, but whether the systems meant to contain it might be its most sophisticated expression.

Note: This project was originally conceived as a starring vehicle for Jeffrey Dean Morgan who had worked with Cole Luck III on The Burning Zone. Unfortunately for the project, but fortunately for Mr. Morgan, his career took off before the screenplay was finished, he never got to see the script and contact was lost.
