DEMONS
A sci-fi thriller.

A brilliant reclusive Scientist is genetically engineering “Demons” - half-bat half-human assassins - in a well funded covert operation for the U.S. Air Force. In enormous caverns on his ranch on the Colorado River adjacent to the remote Big Bend National Park in Texas, unsuspecting, extremely well compensated Las Vegas “showgirls” are “hosts” for the demons. They are allowed no contact with the outside world, and never get to see each other or their “babies”. The oldest demons are about to commence their first operation against terrorists in Nigeria, when the Scientist falls in love with a Field Biologist who works for Big Bend National Park. It puts the top secret project in jeopardy and leads to the Field Biologist “disappearing” and being artificially impregnated with a demon by the Colonel, the Air Force’s woman in charge, who’s been passionately entangled with the Scientist, sexually and scientifically, for over a decade.

MOUTHS TO FEED
A comedy by Todd Allan.
Think RAISING ARIZONA.

A down on his luck Hollywood Screenwriter refuses to take a vacation, so his four kids (ages 5-15) kidnap him, stash him in the luggage container on top of his Volvo, and drive him to Texas. Dad’s troubles only get worse when he escapes near his wife’s ranch. Intimately woven into the plot are the travails of a trailer trash family with four kids who are trying to poach a famously large buck off the wife’s ranch in order to win $50,000 for “bagging” the biggest buck in the county. They really need the money cause they’re too proud to ask Harvard for a hand-out/scholarship for their genius oldest daughter. The worlds of these two families collide in raucous and touching ways that lead to outrageous and satisfying outcomes.

SON OF BIGFOOT
A new American myth.

Andy, in his thirties, tall and strong, but distressed beyond his years, awakens. Desperate to drum-up some cash, he reluctantly tries to donate blood at a plasma center. Mysteriously, the lab technician, David, is unable to type Andy’s blood. Afraid of what this could mean, Andy bolts. David chases him down and they enter the Caribou Club. It costs David a lot of drinks but eventually Andy tells him his story. He claims his father mated with a big foot. Preposterous? Pathetic? Insane?  But, what else could explain the blood?
