HILDEGARD
“You, too have visions and dreams…claim them…”
Original screenplay co-written with Stephanie Meyer
For Hildegard of Bingen — abbess, philosopher, teacher, theologian, zoologist, botanist, medical scientist, physicist, dramatist, painter, poet, composer, visionary, advisor of popes, counselor of kings and “A Feather on the Breath of God” — immortality is nothing compared to her life and works.
After discovering this remarkable woman through her music (77 original compositions and a passion play!) I began researching her life. What I discovered astonished me and she has become a deeply inspiring part of my own creative life. Hildegard was a light in the dark ages and a historical figure who brings inspiration to modern women and men everywhere. First, I played with the notion of creating a one-woman show, but then after further research, I realized that her multi-media life demanded a bigger vehicle — a feature film. So, together with writer and friend, Stephanie Meyer, we began the journey of telling her tale. We spent a good year researching texts in both German and English, and each of us have made the trip to Germany to walk the land she walked and to see and feel her roots. She has been my mentor and my muse and it is my deepest desire to see an English version of her story come to life.

Parental Guidance
An original feature film
story by Kate McCallum
Screenplay by Senthil Kumar
PG MOVIE is an original screenplay written by writer/director Senthil Kumar from a story I had developed and written several years ago. It’s a sort of spiritual “Alice In Wonderland/Wizard of Oz” heroine’s journey of West meets East in this lush adventure tale of a young woman who reluctantly follows the last wishes of her dead mother — that she take her body to India to be cremated by a favored Guru…. I loved this story, but always felt I first had to travel to India for research before I wrote it so it sat patiently in my idea file. Then a few years ago, India came to me in the form of a wonderfully talented young writer. We collaborated on the screenplay and are ready to take our own journey to make this beautiful story a film.

Eros & the Goddess
An original feature film
story by Kate McCallum
Screenplay by Matthew Dixson
Eros & the Goddess is an original screenplay and a modern day Persephone myth written by writer Matthew Dixson. An avant garde art student meets and falls in love with an exotic dancer when he hires her to model for a project. Much to the chagrin of her ultra-controlling husband, who raises and races horses, and delights in the more darker and dangerous aspects of life, the two to plot her escape from a psychologically tortuous marriage. Highly visual and stylish, this story is a 21st century mythic tale of passion and shadow, eros and degradation and the mystery and power of love’s ability to transcend the dark into truth and beauty.
