Development Pitch
The appeal of this story is that it has an undercurrent of the mysterious, and the age old art of snake charming is a pivotal element. It would appeal to an audience because it is set in an exotic land in an exotic time with equally exotic characters. It would make an excellent movie primarily because it takes the audience on a journey with people they have never encountered before in a place they know little or nothing about. The main claim to fame of The Snake Charmer’s Tale is that it is a non-violent feelgood story and, there is not a sociopath or psychopath in sight.
