Development Pitch
Shee is a magical journey of self-acceptance that follows underdog Orla, an anxious, socially awkward teenager and the friends she makes on her journey, a myriad of quirky creatures that stray from the stereotypes of myth and each fighting their own internal battle. A lonely self-depreciating Púca, a meat hating, cowardly kelpie, a self-conscious dragon or a six foot, childish Leprechaun. These eccentricities endear them to the audience but at the same time, it is these qualities where we discover their true strengths lie. The more they bond and trust each other, the less their difficulties affect them until we see them jumping from cliffs and taking on the unbeatable Fomorians in a battle for the end of days, emboldened by their faith in each other. While Orla, bolstered by a belief that she is the chosen one, comes to understand that the strength she needed was inside her all along, she just needed to believe in herself and that only comes from finding the true meaning of friendship. The overriding message of Shee is that it's ok to be different and if we embrace those differences, in others and ourselves, then we are capable of anything. Shee would make a stunning motion picture. Set on the dramatic Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland the story takes in some of the most well-loved Irish landmarks and carries an underlying message about the commanding power of nature and the fragility of the world we inhabit. Shee is a warm, lighthearted adventure that would appeal to all ages.
