Development Pitch
Please find attached supporting evidence to The Southern Belles. If made into a movie, this will be the first of its kind. The Southern Belles introduces the viewers / readers to the Belle sisters, as their world falls apart after the death of their father. They overcome adversity and find love in a heartwarming ending. There are a further 5 stories I am writing, each will be a self-contained story, while adding to established characters. The Varndean Vixens is about three lifelong friends, who believe they will be friends forever. As events unfold, chinks in their friendship show. It takes a serious turn of events for them to come back together, learning along the way that they are great individually, but awesome together. The Vixens adds a story about The Southern Belles. The Soubrettes of Sussex is about two sisters and a friend forming a swing band, while searching for love. One sister is battling with her sexuality, the other falls for a free-spirited dancer, while the friend has problems, when a boy she likes doesn't share her beliefs about sex before marriage. The Southern Belles' family history comes back to haunt them, while The Varndean Vixens are having problems of their own. There are a further three stories, The Ladies of Leisure, The Fat Busters, and one untitled story about three female football players. Having the same characters return in film after film, reprising their roles, has not been done before, and will keep viewers coming back.
