Development Pitch
Some would say the Lepidopteran ronin Nightlight is something between a golden devil and a fiery angel whose insight, honor, and alliance to The Empire has no bounds. With his companions the Viking, the Oracle and the vampire Salene they embark upon a quest to return several missing artifacts that are ripping apart the fabric of time and space. The risk is high yet the rewards are countless as they join with several of their rivals in The Empire to heal, and solve the riddles before them. So far, there are 3 scripts in the series with a fourth on the way. Everything (every single mask and costume for The Lepidopteran) has been made including the weapons. As I wrote the script the ideas began to flow and I began to visualize the outfits so to help the script I naturally began to create them. My entire apartment is filled with statues and masks representing the mystical and scientific armors that characters wear during combat. I completed 3 scripts although I created costumes for 4 (the fourth script is sitting on my laptop waiting for me to flush out my notes). FYI - Some of the costumes even glow in the dark which can be very “trippy “ at night. The costumes can be found in the older posts on my blog www.nathanzensapien.blogspot.com
