Now and Dead

NOW AND DEAD Logline: While College sweethearts drive down a rural road they’re distracted by paranormal creatures hanging from trees and crash. Doctors replace broken limbs with cadavor parts from a deceased college professor that studied supernatural phenomenon. Paranormal creatures distract a young couple during a midnight ride through Northern Michigan. Synopsis: Bruce Davis, a recent graduate of Michigan State University and his young girlfriend Dana drive down a rural eastern Michigan road in an older two door pick up truck. Their two year old German Shepherd is sitting quietly in the short bed. The weather is cool and we see the two having an intense conversation from the side windows. Their conversation becomes very animated. They are not paying attention to the road. While they travel at a high rate of speed we see Bruce making an exaggerated point while looking at Dana, his companion. Dana appears to be preoccupied texting. They've driven through a roadblock that posts "Dangerous Cliff Ahead." Road Closed." They have no idea what lies ahead. Bruce is still focused arguing with Dana, he notices something peculiar outside of her window, unworldly creatures hanging from a trees. As the truck moves faster down the road, more of these creatures are hanging from trees. They resemble, half human, wolf looking, vampires, flashing fangs and claws of lycanthropic beasts. Daylight turns to darkness. The wind begins to howl. Basko, their German Shepherd, begins making strange noises. Rain begins to pour, hail pelts the pickup truck. Visibility is close to zero. As the truck keeps moving forward, the creatures multiply. Bruce motions Dana to look outside. Dana sees the unbelievable, she's shocked. 2. Fog is settling in, rain begins to pour, some of the vampire like creatures are morphing their appearance. Their eye sockets are filling with ocular fluids and the creatures muscles and cartilage can be heard adjusting and forming into whole vampires. Basko is howling, Bruce tries to slow down, but too late. The rain is blinding, and Bruce cannot slow the truck down, the pedal is stuck. The truck catapults off a 100 foot cliff. Basko manages to leap out before the truck hits large trees. As the truck slams into large branches breaking it's fall, we see the young couple bouncing around the inside of the cab. As each branch breaks the trucks fall, the couple moan and groan with pain. Blood is everywhere. The pickup finally slams into the side of a large tree. A small fire starts up under the hood. We hear screaming and moaning. Two young hikers witness the crash, they call 911 and rush to the scene of the crash. The couple is moved by helicopter to a local Michigan Hospital. We see the two laying in hospital beds in life threatening condition. The doctors have operated on both using the latest life saving techniques that include transplanting cadaver bones, marrow and fluids from the local Medical University's cadaver bank. Dana dies on the operating table after losing too much blood. Six months after the operation his personality has changed and now Bruce day dreams about Dana, the 3. crash and the creatures that rushed past them before the horrible event. He acquires the records from the accident and researches the donor of the bone transplants. Bruce discovers the cadaver bones belonged to a professor at the Sandusky's Medical repository. They donor a Professor Irving Shamsky. He died two months before Bruce and Dana's accident, under strange circumstances. The professor, was in his late 50's, was born in Eastern Europe, he studied Vampirology and received a PHD at Bucharest's University of Medicine in Romania. His studies in Bucharest were in researching ancient Rumanian burial caves that were allegedly inhabited by Vampires. Bruce is now sure that he and Dana were received Shamsky's cadaver bones and body fluids. Months of sleepless nights and visits by strange creatures hanging from the ceiling dripping blood would haunt Bruce's dreams. The dreams turned into nightmares. Bruce, must get to the bottom of his nightmares and find out if there is a connection between Professor Shamsky and his accident. Bruce travels to Eastern Europe. When he arrives in Bucharest he investigates Professor Shamsky's past. He finds two students that graduated from Shamsky's classes. Ivanna, a young attractive, former student and now a producer for a local TV station, and Koman, who now teaches Vampirology and Folklore at another local 4. university in Romania. Bruce is intent on finding out why his nightmarish visions tie into Professor Shamsky's cadaver transplants. Before Shamsky left Romania he was researching sightings of locals residents rising from the dead. They took on traits that resembled Vampires, they were walking among the living. Bruce discovers that many of the murders of suspected men and women that rose from the dead were mysteriously killed during Professor Shamsky's tenure at the University. Bruce learns that Shamsky was a professor by day, and butcher by night. Local Rumanian police investigating local murders were tracking Shamsky to the dead and missing. A few days before he would be charged, Shamsky left Romania. He revised his resume applied for and was admitted as a full professor at the Medical Hospital in Sandusky, Michigan. Bruce together with Ivanna and Koman begin to search grave sites of Shamsky's alleged victims. Most of the missing or murdered were residents that lived while Shamsky was a professor at the University. Bruce, and Ivanna, would wait till midnight to visit the cemeteries where the Shamsky's alleged victims were buried. The dead people they found were in excellent condition. Their skin was fresh, their lips were vibrant, their eyeballs were black, and their teeth were coated with blood. When the bodies were touched they would hiss, and bare fanged teeth. Bruce, Ivanna and Koman discovered underground tunnels where the dead bodies were buried. Bruce, had crawled through many of these tunnels, finding bones and other human remains. DNA and pictures were used to identity of the dead. 5. One night, while secretly digging Bruce, Ivanna and Koman observed Vampire like creatures, floating around the cemetery, hanging from trees, morphing from skin to bones, howling...., their black webbed wings fluttering. Interviews with family members of the dead revealed many of their loved ones were students at the University's Medical Center. And Shamsky was one of their professors. All fingers pointed to Shamsky's as the butcher responsible for their death. Further investigation of Shamsky revealed DVD's of interviews he filmed of himself. He discussed his need for human blood, described the taste and aroma, and how he chose his victims. After each kill, he would tape the event, describe how he lured his victims and then buried them alive. Bruce and Ivanna watched hours and hours of Shamsky's DVD's each interview described the horrific details of each death and burial. The DVD's would map out where each body was buried. At night Bruce and Ivanna would dig up grave sites they found dead bodies that appeared recently buried. They bodies seemed to still have the ability to be brought back to life. Through it all, Bruce and Ivanna became close friends. The end of their investigation shocked Ivanna and Bruce. During their grave digging they discover Shamsky's body in perfect condition. Breathing! The End 6. Dark spittle pooled behind Shamky's lower lip and dribbled down his chin. Shamsky drank his own blood, he was drawn to the scent of animals, small pigs. Their blood had a tantalizing aroma, rich and pure

THE KHE SANH BROS by Mike Colonna Synopsis: The Battle of Khe Sanh was a 77-day siege in 1968 during the Vietnam War where U.S. Marines and their allies defended the Khe Sanh Combat Base from a massive North Vietnamese Army offensive. The battle involved intense artillery bombardment, air power, and a disrupted supply line, eventually leading to the relief of the base in April 1968 and the later abandonment of the base. The strategic significance of the battle remains a topic of debate, with some believing it was intended to distract from the Tet Offensive, while others see it as an attempt to seize a strategic area. Five Marines led bThe 5 Marines served out their time, retired were considered heroes, but as time would have it all became homeless, and reconnected on the Pacific Coast Highway, 7th Street and Bellflower. Each manned a traffic light panhandling and sharing their “wealth” at the corner Jack N The Box on Bellflower Blvd. Their lives would change after witnessing a road rage accident and a murder that resulted.

Bob clocks it, files it, lets it go. BOB (V.O.) Not every crown wears a king. A FATHER and SON in tuxes glide through the green, arguing cufflinks. The radio hums a wedding standard. No shouts. No iron. Bob exhales. The corner breathes with him. EXT. SHORELINE — SUNSET Bob and Walt stand ankle-deep. The Pacific chews orange into silver. WALT They’re naming that corner after Parkin. Little sign. Still. BOB Good. WALT You okay? Bob watches a wave break, rebuild, return. BOB Not where I was. Walt nods, kicks surf. For once, they let the silence be a bridge, not a wall. EXT. LONG BEACH — NIGHT City lights blink awake. Somewhere: a door closes on a warehouse. Somewhere else: a badge clicks onto a hook. The freeway hum is almost a lullaby. Back at the corner, Bob settles in. He adjusts the crate, squares the sign, sets his feet like a sentry. He listens. — A SCOOTER chain now true. — A HONDA’s 3-2 bass knocks shift to 2-2 — new code, new day. — Somewhere a PHONE goes up to film, then down to help. Bob’s eyes lift to the light. BOB (V.O.)

Jupiter "The Europa Mission" Chapter 1

Jupiter “The Europa Mission” Kathy and Mike Colonna Chapter One At the "The Pentagon Extraterrestrial Intelligence Conference”, Moderator Alexis Klous asks Stanford University and NASA scientist Gary Nolan "Do You believe that extraterrestrial Intelligence has visited Planet earth?" Nolan's response, "100%. Liam Montgomery was deeply affected by the topic of UFOs. As a young child while sitting in the back seat of his dads 1962 Red Ford Falcon he was startled when two owls appeared outside his back seat window. He was later diagnosed with a form of "Indigo." Fast Forward...Liam’s life has been altered by his layoff from a social media Company. His buyout was in 6 figures. His plans of leaving his beach area apartment is now a reality.

"Liam," an animal lover, in his mid-30's, best friend is Rocky, his larger-than-life German Shepherd. They embark on a short trip to find a small house on a few acres, off the grid that he purchased sight unseen, somewhere in the California desert. Driving on Hwy 10 Liam passes a two-mile-long Union Pacific freight train headed for the Midwest. The 29 Palms off ramp takes him to the center of 29 Palms. Liam turns left on Old Women's Road, and travels through picturesque rock formations, pulls over and checks out his map and pinpoints the two acres with a small house in the middle of nowhere, below Goat Mountain, called Landers. He makes a left turn and drives a few hundred yards and has arrived at his destination.

A Tiny Home in Landers converted from a trailer, sits in the middle of a two-acre parcel, on a rustic road called Jupiter. Well Rocky, we found it. Liam and Rocky agree, this place will be their new home away from home. Liam’s parked outside a Palm Desert Escrow Company to sign paperwork. Rocky's sitting in the camper with his head sticking out of the window. He's greeted by Escrow Officer Samantha Fuller. Her blond curls and quick smile is unlike anyone he's ever met before. Your German Shepherd is awesome. That's Rocky, I'm Liam. He's my point man. How cute. Shall we get started.

She leads Liam to her office; her office has a clear shot to Liam’s camper. Rocky's head is poking out the window, taking in the scenery. I was looking at the title report where you're buying your property Liam up in the Landers area. I love the name of the street- Jupiter.2. 2. Yea, all the streets in the area are named after planets in the Universe. Liam comments on a picture sitting on Samantha’s desk. Isn't that a picture of a Giant Rock in Landers? It is. That's my great Uncle Joseph Fuller’s property.

I remember his friends talking about a trailer he converted into a small home. Maybe that’s why the name Jupiter sounds familiar. My great uncle had a great imagination. Before he died, he told his friends that a spaceship from one of Jupiter's moons woke him up one night. The aliens invited him on board a flying saucer and flew him on a secret mission exploring the rejuvenating of the human body. When he returned he wrote a journal and built a museum that relived his experience on the spacecraft near Goat Mountain. He was buried in an unmarked grave site between Goat Mountain and the Giant Rock.

We can't find the spot. Some folks think that some aliens from planet Jupiter found his burial spot, exhumed his body, and brought it back to Europa, one of the dozens of moons that circle Jupiter. Wow, what a story. Well I’ve got to keep moving, here's a cashier's check, where do I sign my documents. Right here, by the way, my friends call me Sam. Well Sam, I am going to be in town for a few weeks, come by and say hello. I'm looking forward to it. Liam drives off. She waves to "Rocky" as they leave. Liam drives under the corral posts to his new home. What do you think Rocky? Rocky barks approval. Liam opens the front door of his new Tiny Home. He checks out the ceiling, closets, opens the refrigerator door, checks out the stove, walks over to the side bedroom, hits the mattress, dust puffs out. Not ready for "prime time." We'll be sleeping outside tonight. A week later, it's a late Saturday afternoon. Liam is sitting in his newly delivered Redwood Hot Tub. Steam off the hot water blurs his vision. Samantha drives through the corral posts and parks her car. Well, I see you've made yourself at home.

I thought I’d deliver your closing papers. Thank you! Stick around, I'm going to whip up some dinner. I’ve got the barbeque going, I thought you might enjoy one of my famous burgers. Samantha smiles, and nods approval. Liam set’s up a folding table outside of his tiny home, uncorks a bottle of cheap wine, and they sit under the stars munching on Liams famous burgers. 3. 3. Samantha comments, Liam I must say you do cook-up a mean burger and the “Two Buck Chuck” isn’t bad either. Let me help you clean up. Liam looks up at the stars, the hot tub is still bubbling, Hey Sam, do you care to sip some wine under the stars in my new hot tub? Sam, sheepishly responds, “I didn't bring a bathing suit.” Under a vast desert sky, where stars burned bright and endless.

Liam waved Sam over with a playful grin, his voice soft but teasing, "Use your imagination." Their eyes locked, a silent spark passing between them, charged with unspoken promises. Samantha, with quiet confidence, let her clothes slip to the ground, her silhouette glowing under the starlight as she eased into the bubbling water. "I’m glad I found this place," Liam murmured, his gaze sweeping from the shimmering heavens to her. "It’s perfect. Shooting stars, the quiet desert, a cheap bottle of wine—how could anyone ask for anything more?" The night held its breath, the only sound the gentle lapping of water and their shared, contented sighs. Minutes passed, wrapped in the intimacy of the moment, when Samantha’s hand glided beneath the surface, brushing against him.

Liam exhaled sharply, his pulse racing like a comet’s tail. The desert had promised him solitude, but instead, it delivered a mystery—her. They leaned into each other, their embrace igniting under the cosmic canopy, and the rest, well, it was written in the stars. Rocky's sudden growl broke the spell. Liam followed the dog's stare. Above Goat Mountain, a pale circular light hung in the dusk sky. It shimmered, silent, then vanished as quickly as it appeared. The glow had vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving the horizon empty again. Rocky's growl tapered into a low whine, his nose twitching.

Liam stood from the hot tub, water streaming down his shoulders. "Probably a plane," he said, though the desert air had fallen so still that even his own voice seemed too loud. Samantha's eyes lingered on the horizon before turning back to him. "Out here? In this airspace?" He couldn't answer. She smirked, covering the unease with humor. "Well, unless you want me driving back on a rattlesnake-ridden road in the dark, if you don’t mind I think Ide like to spend the night and leave in the morning. The Agency has satellites in orbit circling Goat Mountain. Especially around Goat Mountain.

The Marine Base "spook" experts begin tracking Liam’s movements. I've got something to show you Sam. While cleaning this place the floorboard was loose. 4. 4. LIAM walks over to a far spot, he kneels the floorboard shifts under his hand, loose. He pries it up and reveals a shallow compartment beneath. Sam, I found the missing journal! Inside was a leather-bound journal, cracked with age, its cover etched faintly with the initials J.F. Liam swallowed hard. I found Joseph Fuller's missing journal. He opened it gently. The pages were filled with tight, slanted handwriting, notes interspersed with sketches of symbols, planetary orbits, and diagrams of what looked disturbingly like spacecraft. One passage caught his eye: "The ones from Europa are not cruel.

They are ancient, weary travelers. They showed me what life could be without age, without decay. When my time ends here, they promised to take me back with them — back to where the body renews, and time begins again." A chill spread through Liam's veins. "Liam?" Samantha's voice floated in from the doorway. Her expression shifted as she saw the book in his hands. Sam’s face was drained of color. "I've never seen that before." Before he could respond, Rocky barked sharply, pulling their attention outside. Through the cracked window, the night horizon glowed. A disc of pale light hovered again above Goat Mountain, closer this time, its surface shimmering like liquid metal. For a breathless second, it seemed to pulse — not random, but rhythmic, almost like a signal. Then, in a burst of impossible speed, it vanished skyward, leaving only the cold silence of the desert. Liam's grip tightened on the journal.

His heart thundered. He knew, deep down, that the book and the sighting were no coincidence. Samantha whispered, almost to herself, "Maybe Uncle Joseph really did go with them." Liam turned toward the window, Rocky's bark echoing into the night. The desert wasn't empty. It never had been. He opened it gently. The pages were filled with tight, slanted handwriting, notes interspersed with sketches of symbols, planetary orbits, and diagrams of what looked disturbingly like spacecraft. One passage caught his eye: "The ones from Europa are not cruel. They are ancient, weary travelers. They showed me what life could be without age, without decay. When my time ends here, they promised to take me back with them — back to where the body renews, and time begins again."

A chill spread through Liam's veins. "Liam?" Samantha's voice floated in from the doorway. Her expression shifted as she saw the book in his hands. Sam’s face was drained of color. 5. 5. "I've never seen that before." Before he could respond, Rocky barked sharply, pulling their attention outside. Through the cracked window, the night horizon glowed. A disc of pale light hovered again above Goat Mountain, closer this time, its surface shimmering like liquid metal. For a breathless second, it seemed to pulse — not random, but rhythmic, almost like a signal.

Then, in a burst of impossible speed, it vanished skyward, leaving only the cold silence of the desert. Liam's grip tightened on the journal. His heart beat quickly.

The Khe Sanh Bros

Final Draft screenplay and suspense drama. Bob Purnell and his Khe Sanh Bros. The Battle of Khe Sanh was a 77-day siege in 1968 during the Vietnam War where U.S. Marines and their allies defended the Khe Sanh Combat Base from a massive North Vietnamese Army offensive. The battle involved intense artillery bombardment, air power, and a disrupted supply line, eventually leading to the relief of the base in April 1968 and the later abandonment of the base.

While the U.S. and their allies suffered hundreds of casualties, Viet Cong losses were significantly higher, estimated at 5,500 to 15,000.The main fighting of the siege lasted from January 21 to April 6, 1968. The battle took place at the U.S. Marine base at Khe Sanh in northwest South Vietnam, near the border with Laos and the Demilitarized Zone. Main defenders the U.S. Marines.

Elements of the North Vietnamese Army.Viet Cong forces encircled and besieged the base, cutting off land supply routes. The U.S. relied heavily on air power for supplies and support, utilizing methods like the "super gaggle" for air delivery and B-52 bomber strikes against enemy positions. The battle featured intense artillery bombardments from both sides. The siege was broken after Staff Sergeant Bob Purnell and four Marines, Tom Barrett, Bob Gould, Tom Flood, Ray Macken snuck through enemy lines to alert Marine Headquarter nearby that they were getting slaughtered and needed more air support.

U.S. Forces experienced hundreds of killed and wounded, while enemy losses were estimated to be significantly higher. Following the battle, the base was ultimately ordered to be destroyed and abandoned. The strategic significance of the battle remains a topic of debate, with some believing it was intended to distract from the Tet Offensive, while others see it as an attempt to seize a strategic area. The 5 Marines served out their time, retired and were considered heroes, but as time would have it all became homeless, and reconnected on the Pacific Coast Highway, 7th Street and Bellflower.

Each manned a traffic light panhandling and sharing their “wealth” at the corner Jack N The Box. Their lives would change after witnessing a road rage accident and a gang murder that resulted. Purnell’s life was in danger, but his Khe Sanh Bros teamed up to make life miserable for those that wanted them dead.
