Development Pitch
This story has a built in audience because it's based on a hit song that has become a rock ' n roll classic and has been re-recorded WELL OVER 1800 times around the world by famous artists ! A potential audience of both males and females of 200-300++ Million worldwide who've heard the song ! The movie should be a combination of a Merchant-Ivory production crossed with an original MTV video vibe ! The script is loosely based on the lyrics of "Hey Joe" made famous by Jimi Hendrix and then by many, many other top performers around the world ! Jimi's version http://bit.ly/2UEK4Ym https://twitter.com/HarveyW26 Executed properly it shouldn't fail to make money - plenty of money. I should be retained to consult on the execution.
