What it means to be a Story Me TV RISING STAR

We’re in the business of telling stories… How could we do it without YOU???

FAN FARE

FAN FARE is our reverse spin on the FAN FICTION concept. Our VIP INFLUENCERS get access to our brand new/original scripts, treatments, bibles and concept outlines. We invite them to audition, comment, write and submit their sample ideas. We review for compatibility and then we ask our VIP Member Family to pick their favorites in our Online Story Me Talent Contests! When the votes are in, we get in touch and then we move into Development!

Who are we looking for? Do you need experience and/or credits? Nope.
We want creative collaborators and innovators who see the limits and laugh at them!


STORY STAX



Story Stax
is where we take everything next level. We’re inviting our fabulous VIP INFLUENCERS to submit their best and craziest ideas for all-new hybrid franchise shows. When we’ve looked at the possibilities and considered the technical challenges, we’ll interview our most promising candidates and poll our VIP Member Family. After that, we’ll put together teams of potential collaborators and volunteers!

Okay… just to make sure we’re on the same page, let’s recap…

FAN FARE: We invite you to submit your contributions to our films and series.
STORY STAX: You’re invited to submit on book-series-game-film-business-merchandise franchises.]
CONTRIBUTIONS: Anything that advances the project creatively … your options have no limits!

Our content is written and produced in “90-second-clip” formats. Fast-paced and fluid, this format appeals to today’s busy viewer who likes their content as easy to watch as a bowl of chips is to munch on. For our content creation collaborators, think of our 90-second clip format as a set of 3 thirty-second sketches – equivalent in pace and timing to 3 typical commercials – linked by connecting threads.

Diva Darlings – Sitcom – Drag Community – Ensemble Cast
What do you get when you mix Charlie’s Angels and Miss Congeniality with RuPaul’s Drag Reality Show and side orders of Magnum PI and Private Benjamin? You get a new recruit infiltrating a team of retired gay cops and Navy Seals who work their high profile LGBTQ+ security details “undercover” in bling and boas and platform heels. With a mystery boss we hear, but never see concerned that one of the team may be working a hidden agenda, the Darlings must break in their newest member on-the-job. What we get in every episode is a train-wreck that never quite derails while lives are saved and heists are averted as our Divas prevail without losing an eyelash or breaking a nail.

Off Base – Sitcom – Military Life – Ensemble Cast
Six military BRATS met in high school and formed a garage band. When they failed to grab the brass ring, they enlisted. Ten years later, they share a rented house beyond the reach of the MPs [Military Police] and carry on the way they did when everyone wanted to know them, be them or sleep with them. Each saucy episode offers up a mix of MASH, Kelly’s Heroes, Two And A Half Men, Risky Business and Animal House.

Alter Egos – Reality Show – Wedding Planner Competition Series
Echoes of Runaway Bride and Father Of The Bride bring Say Yes To The Dress and Monster-In-Law to the starting line in an outrageous race to out-do the competition. Our wedding planner contestants compete for high dollar bragging rights while our brides and grooms have their eyes on lavish honeymoon prizes.

Charmers – Sitcom – Ensemble Cast
We’ve re-imagined The Golden Girls as blue-collar Irish widowers sharing a house in a sea-side tourist town. Equal parts rascal and Romeo, hard-working and slack-luster, grumpy and philosophical, we’re tapping into The Full Monty, The Odd Couple, Grumpy Old Men and Friends to make you want to cancel your plans and find this place… just for a weekend, or what-the-hell, maybe a week.

Sticks and Stones – Coming Of Age – Teen Drama
Bringing back memories of Stand By Me and The Goonies, with a gritty twist of White Boy Rick, this coming-of-age saga takes place at a middle-school summer camp. When 3 boys find a map that leads them to a stash of cash and a newspaper clipping of a bank heist, they’re caught by the camp’s pushy junior counsellor, who turns out to be the bank robber’s daughter. The tug of war to do the right thing without naming names becomes a test of loyalty (misplaced) and trust (abused) until each one of them draws a line in the sand and chooses
.  

Easy Pickins – Cops & Corruption
In the sleepy town of Pickins, Georgia, Missy Pickins is a fourth generation private investigator. Standing just five feet tall, with blue eyes and blonde hair, she’s the kind of girl Good Old Boys like to humor until she gets in the way and won’t take no for an answer. Set against a Dukes of Hazzard backdrop with a side of How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, Missy Pickins is a 30-something Veronica Mars who learns the hard way what it’s like to be on the wrong end of a deadly struggle for power.

We have TWO ‘Legends’ Franchises In Development

Glade Runners – Indigenous History / High Stakes ‘Conquest / Search For Gold’ Adventure
Franchise Package: Book > Series > Video Game > Board Game > Resort
Set in the heart of Florida’s Seminole Country in the 1700’s, we’re introduced to a culture and a core group of characters who survived by outwitting more powerful adversaries. As Indigeneity gains traction, thanks to productions like Reservation Dogs, Glade Runners offers a glimpse of quick-thinking shipwreck salvage artists and runaway snipers who thinned enemy ranks by picking off stragglers in the dense Everglades. Reminiscent of films like Little Big Man, the destruction caused by Nature at its most fierce is paired with the ruthless tactics of invading forces that don’t care who they destroy in their search for lost pirate gold and rich land.

Sea Warriors – History Based High Seas ‘Star-Crossed Love’ Adventure
Franchise Package: Book > Series > Reality Competition Series > Video Game > Fitness Camp
For five thousand years, the Vikings and the Basques pooled their talents and resources to hunt whales. Their lucrative partnership fell apart when a pair of high-born heirs were caught in a storm, took shelter and fell in love. In a twist on the Romeo/Juliet saga sacrificing the life they know for love, the lovers abandon their privileged status and set their sights on a different horizon. Blending the decadent echoes of The Graduate with the life-or-death elements of Five Feet Apart and West Side Story, the lovers manage to escape from their guards with a priceless treasure that could alter the course of history. Branded as outlaws, they run as far and as fast as they can, often hiding in plain sight.


We have FOUR ‘Johnni Foster’ Franchises In Our “Future Development” Plans

Vicarious – Romantic Comedy / Thriller
Franchise Package: Book > Play Book > Series
Johnni Foster is an A-List author who is known as the undisputed Queen of The Trainwreck Romance, in her novels and her life. When she dreams up a killer plot for the ultimate thriller adventure, actual bodies begin to turn up close to home and she finds herself locked in a ‘kill or be killed’ race against time. The action takes place in New York and Florida, where Johnni divides her time between the bright lights and the back channel simple life.

Unsuitable – Romantic Comedy / Mystery
Franchise Package: Book > Play Book > Series
Johnni Foster is back in the middle of an equal-opportunity pandemic. She’s fallen for a guy with the kind of grin that makes her smile and she gets pulled into a crazy kidnap-rescue that gets uglier every day. As her not-so-kindly southern lawyer shows his true colors, she hears from a lovable ex who wants her to chase down a mystery with him. As the ruthless kidnap morphs in a way that feels contrived, Johnni begins to wonder where her Romeo’s loyalties lie. When she gets timely advice from an unlikely source, she uses her wits to outwit the bad guys and finds the courage to tell her Romeo he has one chance, or it’s good-bye.

Download This – Romantic Comedy / Coming of Age
Franchise Package: Book > Play Book > Series
Johnni Foster got her start as the undisputed Queen of the Trainwreck Romance completely by accident. In this prequel to her misadventures in love and Fame, she reunites with her first love with no idea what she hopes to find. When he turns out to be the kind of guy who skates through life on a thin sheet of lies, she decides to get even. First, she stages a Hamlet-worthy play to teach her lover a lesson. Then she writes a tell-all book that – wouldn’t you know it – launches her career. Along the way, Johnni runs into the elusive rascal who never fails to brighten her day.

Insatiable – Romantic Comedy / Saga
Franchise Package: Book > Play Book > Series
Johnni Foster can’t shake her fascination with the mystery she stumbled on in Unsuitable. A legend of star-crossed lovers… an intriguing puzzle about two missing knives and the possibility that someone, somewhere holds the key to survive killer plagues and viruses has her heading into uncharted waters. Everywhere she turns, she meets people whose appetite for passion is matched by their hunger for power. Johnni finds herself struggling to resist the urges that tempt her to stray from her search for the love she’s always longed for… the kind of love that truly lasts.
