[004] SCREENPLAY · IN DEVELOPMENT
Narva's Daughters
A historical drama story set during the Great Northern War — Based on the real diaries of two women caught in the Great Northern War. Developed as series bible, screenplay, and novel. Excerpts from the series bible
excerpt
fragment 01
“Surprising everyone at the ceremony, the previously so shy boy king snatched the crown from the archbishop, himself placing it upon his anointed head.”
fragment 02
“Whereas in the vast Eurasian landscape, nature was unquestionably master; in palace halls, surrounded by life-changing amenities such as washing closets and emboldened by new ideals of rational thought, hubris was in the making.”
fragment 03
“With time and attrition, even terror gradually turns into background noise. And surely, behind any daily activity and experience, there loomed a shadow. But it was best to neither think nor speak of it, for there was no one there to listen, and addressing it would amount to nothing but more grief.”
fragment 04
“The Russian word for wife, nevesta, directly translates into the 'unknown one'. The less touched by society and the less known of her, the higher the girl's worth.”
[005] NOVEL · UNPUBLISHED
Merchant of Death
An alternate history following real-life arms dealer Basil Zaharoff in a late 19th century transformed by the birth of a new species. Developed as novel, screenplay, and show bible. Excerpts from the novel
excerpt
fragment 01
“I, Basileios Zacharias Zaharoff, was born in 1849 in one of the dirtiest whorehouses in the city of Mugla. Almost a decade before humanity acknowledged what could become either its salvation or doom.”
fragment 02
“But in their masses, whipped up by the demagogue equipped with the right message at the right time, homo sapiens are undoubtedly the planet's most vile creatures. And then there is me, deemed vile even amongst the vilest.”
fragment 03
“His back looked anything but common; in it one could read an uncomfortable part of his family history, a tale carved in flesh. Covered in several dozens of thin bulges of skin, each surrounded with dozens of tiny wrinkles, his body's natural attempt of stitches. Every disfigurement a remnant of father Vasilij's horrible crop with its leaden tip.”
fragment 04
“In a sense, Zaharoff's entire wardrobe could be interpreted as a sort of vision board made in cotton, linen, and silk instead of pictures and text.”
