LYNN ELLIOTT PROJECTS
​

The Boy Who Earned His Magic
LOGLINE: Howell’s ordinary life shatters when his mother vanishes under mysterious circumstances, drawing him into a dangerous world hidden in the deserts of New Mexico. Guided by his eccentric uncle and pursued by dark forces, he faces strange trials, treacherous enemies, and his own crippling self-doubt. From a perilous wizard school to a final showdown in underground tunnels, Howell must discover whether he has the courage and the power to save her before time runs out. 
From Lynn: The Boy Who Earned His Magic is a rare blend of wonder and realism. Though steeped in fantasy, it examines self-doubt, courage, family, and the moral choices that define us. Its magic is inseparable from real danger, and its adventure is grounded in emotional truth making it as much a story about belonging as it is about spells and sorcery.

Pirandello's Wife
Logline: For a quarter of a century, Antonietta was the wife of one of Italy’s most celebrated playwrights. Yet the final forty years of her life were spent behind the walls of an asylum. There, she sought to reclaim her voice, enlisting fellow patients as actors to dramatize her own account a story of a woman pushed to society’s margins. Her attempt to be heard, however, met fierce resistance from the institution’s director, who remained intent on preserving the officially sanctioned version of life within the Pirandello household.

Rodeo "A Musical"
Logline: Mrs. Worthmore, a wealthy widowed socialite from New York, ventures into the spirited world of rodeo, intent on “rescuing” her daughter, Harper, from a budding romance with a young cowboy. Accompanying her is the flamboyant Reverend JJ Busyher self-proclaimed protector, fond of boastful tales and comical malapropisms along with his nephew, Harrison, the reluctant suitor Mrs. Worthmore deems more suitable for Harper. Immersed in this unfamiliar and unpredictable setting, the trio soon becomes entangled in a cascade of mix-ups, courtesy of a roguish rodeo clown who thrives on the chaos of mistaken identity.
