Screenwriter seeks local filmmaking partner for mythical fantasy film
Here's a brief outline to The Guide, by Alexis Johnson. If you're interested in learning more, email Alexis at phoenicianrises@gmail.com and she'll send you the script and artwork.
Esther is a Divya - a Spirit Guide, or Fairy Godmother. Her calling is to make the dreams and wishes of others come true, particularly those who have shown grace in adversity. Though Esther loves her work, it can often leave her feeling apart from the rest of the world, and even an outsider in her own life.
When Esther is assigned to Gilda, an abused young woman on a distant island nation, things take a turn. Esther raises Gilda up and brings her to the ball that she longs to attend. However, in the middle of the experience, Gilda inexplicably runs away. This action sends Esther on a hunt to find her as she cannot leave a mission incomplete. The prince of the land has sent Oren, his very own captain of the guard, to search for Gilda as well. The prince claims she is the love of his life after their meeting at the ball.
Esther and Oren realize they have a common goal and they partner together to achieve it. The task proves to be far more complicated and dangerous as they face obstacles in nature and among their fellow man. Additionally, something far more sinister and supernatural is on their tail. Esther's adventure begins with her mission to help others, but then allows her to stumble into a different kind of story. A story in which she, finally, is the heroine.
Full of rich culture and myth, The Guide brings twists and surprises to the characteristic beats of the fairy tale genre and reveals that dreams can come true to anyone, at any age.
Alexis' vision is for the film to be made in New Zealand by a local filmmaker. "NZ has the variety of setting and people that would bring lush visuals and diversity on the screen. It would also be an ideal opportunity for me to collaborate with other women in film."
