Synopsis: Marston Moor is a horror thriller, based on a true historical mystery. Set in London and in an isolated GRAND MANOR HOUSE in the English Yorkshire MOORS, the film tracks the fates of six youths as they are ENTICED to a GLAMOROUS event at the manor house and then find themselves trapped inside, FIGHTING for their lives. A cross between What Did You Do Last Summer and The Wicker Man, or The Shining and Rosemary's Baby, Marston Moor explores the consequences of our GENEALOGICAL TIES and of the HISTORY of our family and nation. Particularly with the interest in British history and the lives of their upper class from successful shows and films such as The Tudors, Gosford Park and Downtown Abbey, this film has huge potential for success. My literary agent in New York is Faye Bender (www.fbliterary.com). However, she does not represent screenplays. I am looking for screenplay representation. My first novel The Mushroom Man (Putnam Penguin) was translated into several languages.

Synopsis: Dearest Agent, I am writing to you from deep within an underground bunker to gauge interest in representing me and my new feature-length screenplay AMERICAN HUNGER. It is a period zombie horror screenplay dealing with issues of racism and religion. Readers for FirstGlance International Film Festival (I was a finalist in 2009), have said of my work, "It is highly imaginative, funny, exciting, thought-provoking... All the good stuff" (their words, not mine). Another reviewer under the employ of BlueCat Screenplay Competition claimed, "One of the most unique and original pieces a reader can ever come across. Its imagination knows no bounds." Please let me know if you're interested in having a look. Thank you. Your Brother in Arms, Victor de Oliveira
