Logline: Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny, are four orphaned siblings who appear late one night out of nowhere and, afraid to live with the grandfather they’ve never met, take up residence in an abandoned boxcar. The eldest brother goes to town, earning money for supplies, while the other children fend for themselves, making a home in the boxcar.

Logline: Story will tell the formative story of how Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince, and Messala, the son of a Roman tax collector, grew up best friends before the Roman Empire took control of Jerusalem. It will also tell the parallel tale of Jesus Christ with whom Ben-Hur has several encounters which moves him to become a believer.

Logline: Story takes place in a dystopian future after a second Civil War, where a parent may choose to retroactively get rid of a child, between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, through a process called “unwinding”, which ensures that the child’s life doesn’t “technically” end by transplanting all the organs in the child’s body to various recipients.
