Petra Terzi brings 5 new projects and scripts to AFM

PAPYRUS TRINITY STAR, LLC presents T "49 Years After" based on a true story.

49 Years After is a drama feature in the vein of  "The Gift" meets "Sixth Sense"

Logline: "49 Years After" is an adventure into the parallel world of the undead.

 

Pitch: 

"49 Years After" is an adventure into the parallel world of the undead. It tells the story of a clairvoyant woman named Sofia, who practices alternative medicine in New York. Sofia has a young client named Annie, who sees a lost boy that no one else can see. Annie's mother cannot see Andrew, but believes her daughter and asks Sofia for help. 

 

Annie causes Sofia to recall painful buried memories of her childhood in Rhodes, Greece. As a young girl, Sofia also had visions that no one else could see. She was punished harshly by her mother and the village priest who didn't know understand her gift. Sofia is determined to help Annie to reunite her friend Andrew with his loved ones in the afterlife. 

Annie opens a memory of Sofia discovering the hidden bones of a boy under her great-grandmother's death bed. Her grandfather is forced to tell her a story about a young child who belonged to one of the many Jewish families he helped escape from Rhodes to Turkey during WW2. 

Sofia digs deep into her memory of her father and his painful experience during WW2. He tells her of his friendship with a German soldier and his punishment in his refusal to kill him.  

49 years after, Sofia decides to share her story as a legacy to her family and to the world. "49 Years After" inspires the values of friendship and humanity.

The Therapist from George Mehalchick: a medieval fairy tale called The Therapist.

 

The Therapist is a drama feature film in the vein of  “Twilight” meets “Lady Hawke.”

A young six year old child is the sole survivor of a mass murder. He cannot provide any clear explanation of the murder or murderers. However, one of the killed, his Mother, with her last breath, gives healing powers to her six year old son.

Years later two stories unfold. In one, the people realize that the hands of the now young man, Andronicus, have healing powers and a ruthless chase to kidnap him begins. At the same time a far darker and more odious story also unfolds when Louise d’Anjou enters Andronicus’ life.

The Ottomans pursue Louise d’Anjou. They want to capture her and exchange her for a Turk that a Turkish SPY Suleiman protects.

However Louise captures Suleiman’s heart. Despite his love, Suleiman marks her back with his wolf’s nails. Hearing Louise’s screams and the wolf’s howls Andronicus realizes that Suleiman and the wolf are the same.

 

The Therapist is a magical journey into the supernatural world we all live in. The plot uses mystery, murder and mayhem to bring the audience into this mystical world that few acknowledge. The viewer is challenged to explore their own limits of imagination when learning of the healing powers of the young Andronicus.

 

Today when the world is focused on evil, this movie will reward everyone with the knowledge that good can prevail.
