A proposal for a quirky feature film about a frustrated husband who is

---------------------------------------------------------
This screenplay is filled with thrills, comedy, sex, murder and science
fiction. It all takes place in downtown TORT a small community somewhere
in rural England. A sharp, seductive, voracious con artist SOPHIE LOU
needs little help before targeting the small community, but she suddenly
goes awry. A middle aged, bald, squatty, angry husband JARVIS LOOMY, who
works as a bellhop, finds comfort in Sophie's arms but can't seem to get
it right when trying to murder his wife ETHEL LOOMY, a prim looking
school teacher with fuming mackerel breath. Jarvis Loomy suddenly goes
to extremes and pleads the assistance of HENRY WOLF a greasy,
squinty-eyed and sometimes forgetful terrorist, with a clinging ulcer
that suddenly turns obscene. In the midst of the police search for the
terrorist, a frustrated husband, scheming murder, and a con artist that
has sexually run amok, a new café opens in Tort called Braidys, owned by
undercover aliens. With the help of an unlikely assistant a disturbing
yet tasty courtesy item called a Twist is on the menu. It is

SEEKING BUYERS
British based film company, Greenway Entertainment is showing its debut
film at Cannes 2005. Writer, Director Steven M. Smith brings us "TIME OF
HER LIFE" screening at Riviera 8, Thursday 20:30.
THE FILM WITH A REAL GHOST!!!
Whilst filming at an historic English mansion we noticed nothing, but in
post we can clearly see a ghost has entered frame to take a look at what
we were doing. Perhaps it is the orb of Queen Anne as the room bares her
name. See if you can see the ghost? It sends a chill down my back every
time I see it...
The story revolves around two ghosts who have roamed the grounds of an
historic English mansion for over 200 years, Emmett, the son of a
wealthy industrialist who lived at the house, and Catherine, a beautiful
servant girl who disappears never to be seen again. 200 Years later,
Emmett's ghost is wandering the grounds. Ally, a photography student
must help Emmett unravel the truth and reunite their love...
"Breathtaking locations and a story that is based on true events, TIME
OF HER LIFE delivers a beautiful original story with the added twist of
a real ghost caught on film. Superbly written and directed by a newcomer
with an extensive knowledge of storytelling that has sadly been missing
from movie making for many years.The film also contains an excellent
musical score from newcomer Barry A. E. Covell." British Press Article
