FILM

AND

TV

Beautiful Calf develops and produces film and TV projects for the global market. Numerous shows we have developed have sold out globally. Before we develop a story, we analyze the global marketplace to ensure the project is in a clean lane to give it the best shot at selling out globally. This starts by studying competitive projects and studying global AI social media patterns related to the subject matter. Our stories are built to spark social dialogue and thus

drive sales via local word of mouth. Once the design is done and the project has a clear target digital audience we move into packaging.

At the packaging stage, we build a pedigree around the project by attaching top industry players to ensure the film garners support globally and move swiftly into production.

2035 a virus turns the most susceptible, women and minorities, into vampires. They lose their right to vote.

Mina, a young female psychology student tries to unearth the cause of the virus by striking an unlikely relationship with a centuries-old count whose mental illness requires him to kill to sustain his long life. When he feeds, she can hear his thoughts.

Drac guides Mina to thwart Dr. Seward, her academic rival, whom she believes released the virus.

Love The Hard way

Bowling for Columbine is a 2002 Academy Award-winning documentary film written, produced, directed, and narrated by Michael Moore. The film explores what Moore suggests are the primary causes for the Columbine High School massacre in1999 and other acts of gun violence. He focuses on the background and environment in which the massacre took place and some common public opinions and assumptions about related issues. The film also looks into the nature of violence in the United States, and American violence abroad.

Grossed over $100 million worldwide, and won an Oscar for Best Documentary.

Belliveau Worked as an executive on the film.

Bowling For Columbine

Paula, mid-thirties, is a talented crisis manager who loves her job.  It was her big break after college.  The Elon Mush of her generation – Milford saw her potential. Today Paula is constantly on the road. She lives in dingy motel rooms defending the use of toxic manure (Kwaser).  She believes she will one day save world hunger.

While trying to close her final deal before moving on to a more prestigious project, she ends up in Hank’s hometown defending the use of toxic sludge.  Hank, a staunch environmentalist and sexist country boy, is the local dental celebrity hygienist and a single dad.  When they meet, Hank bursts her bubble by calling her on the fact that she is trying to sell him shit.

Paula carries with her a briefcase out of which climbs her entire crisis management team including her ambitious little sister, Tilly; evil private detective, Finny and speechwriter, Carl.  When the team from the briefcase and Milford catch wind that she is growing increasingly torn between her professional life and attraction to Hank, they attempt to sabotage the relationship to ensure Milford’s next big venture.  Her interest in Hank triggers unexpected circumstances. The briefcase takes on a life of its own.

A sardonic, yet romantic comedy screenplay based on the Off-Broadway hit "PR MAN". The project received a seven-digit pre-sale offer and interest from a major US company.

The Briefcase
