The power of collaboration...


Is an awesome thing.

So I have this idea for a story.  The germ of it comes when I imagine a sunflower field (like a cornfield but with sunflowers) turning away, all at once and as one, from the Sun to face somewhere in space.

They're tracking something.

Then the field splits in two, then three.

Three somethings.

And in the field, a girl and her father are running for their lives.

The film will be called 'HARVEST', it's a supernatural/sci-fi/thriller that a writer friend of mine is currently writing based on my original idea and turned into something waaay cooler based on his.  He's on page ninety and sent me the above shot apologizing for the fact that he's gone and shot the budget all to hell...

'Cause it looks like he's taking them to Siberia.

How cool is that?

That's two creative people working together.  That's the power of film, and the power of Church-done right.

More than one person bending their will to get a thing done.

Awesome.

(now to pitch the right studio in to 'greenlighting' it...)
