ISLAND ANGEL

Comedy-romance. When a long-submerged island rises to the surface for the first time in 200 years, it rekindles a territorial dispute between two neighboring countries. The struggle for possession of the long lost lump of rock is fought out between a charming but pompous city journalist and a feisty local fisherwoman, each trying to claim the island for their country – and themselves. When the couple are marooned on the rock they must find a way to get along, and ultimately survive together.

In the vein of Il Postino, Waking Ned, Notting Hill , War of the Roses and Cast Away.

Since the story is so universal, we have developed three versions of the screenplay – one set off Ireland with British-Irish rivals, one set in Louisiana with British-American rivals, and the location of the actual island, in the Med, near Sicily, with British-Italian protagonists.

We hope to have the multi-award winning script packaged and funded by the end of 2012.
