2012
"Some say the world is ending, others say it is just beginning" According to the Mayan calendar, legend has it that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. The United States of America is suffering greatly and has been under a barrage of wars and the greatest nation on Earth is on its last reserves. In an attempt to battle the disastrous homeland situation, Dr. Kelly Brice and Professor Popovich are recruited by the military to work on a serum derived from the last remaining vial of one of history’s greatest heroes, Van Helsing. Test subject after test subject prove to be an utter failure. Doctor Kelly Brice and her mentor, Professor Popovich, have no idea that what they signed on to create would propel the world into the end of times. Donald, the lowly blue-collar janitor, enters the room. Donald becomes exposed to the experimental serum, and spreads it throughout the military base. 2012: One year later, the United States, and possibly the entire world, is now a devastated landscape of death as the virus quickly spreads through the populous. Depending on a person’s genetic makeup, humans either become "Primitives" or "Vamps." Most of the infected have died to rise again as Primitives, rabid and violent creatures whose only desire is to kill and eat, spreading the virus wherever they feed. The other rare few become the elite Vamps, who are agile, intelligent, and merciless creatures with murderous qualities. Because of their superior intellects, the Vamps have become twisted and dark, believing themselves the next step in evolution and the rulers of this new age. The once seething blue-collar janitor, Donald, merges with the demon virus coursing through his veins to become the Demonic Vamp Balphame, leader of the Vamps. Balphame is intent on making the barren landscape his kingdom and quickly organizes his minions into a Vampire Army, with himself at the helm. Doctor Bryce and Professor Popovich, having escaped from the infected military base before the world self-destructed, are now joined by a band of few remaining Army Rebels, led by the heroic Sid. The rebels have hidden themselves in a secret and secure lab in the country, where they all work to find a cure for the Drakul-virus and hopefully begin to repair the damage that they have unknowingly caused. Sid remains hopeful for a cure as he had once been infected while leading his rebel force. Kelly managed to cure him of the first stages of the "Primitive" state and rekindles their hope. Sid leads the rebellion due to an intense guilt which he carries around with him like a scarlet letter. Sid had witnessed his family savagely devoured by the leader of the Vamps while he stood motionless and helpless. His one hope is to find his sister that was spared; however, she has been taken into the depths of Balphame’s lair. Sid isn’t the only one who has lost a loved one. Kelly’s dear friend, Professor Popovich, is dragged off into a nearby storm sewer to his certain death. Balphame sends his right hand man, Dahn Tu, to seek out the Doctor and the leader of the Army Rebellion, "Sid." He manages to track them down and a scheme is hatched to herd the remaining army rebellions to Balphame’s lair. When the rebel group arrives at the lair, Sid goes off to scout the grounds. While he’s gone, they are betrayed by a traitor in their midst and Doctor Bryce is captured. Sid, hearing the gunshots, runs to investigate, but is shot by Balphame, who has a couple surprises in store for the remaining group. He reveals Professor Popovich and Sid’s long lost sister, who have both been turned into Vamps. Sid is caught off guard by his sister and she tears out his jugular, leaving him to die on the floor. Meanwhile, Popovich thinks he has convinced Kelly to turn herself into the superior Vamp race. Dr. Bryce tells Balphame that she’ll give him the vial and work with him only if he changes her into a Vamp. He agrees and bites her, and suddenly begins to convulse and foam at the mouth. Doctor Bryce reveals that she injected her newly created antigen into herself, gambling that it would affect Balphame when he tried to turn her. With only one syringe left, she injects the antigen into Sid’s sister, curing her of the Vamp virus. She can’t bring herself to shoot Popovich and lets him go, telling him that she’ll kill him if she sees him again. Our story closes as it is reveals Balphame awakening, though it is uncertain whether he’s still a Vamp or has reverted back to his lowly human alter ego the janitor, Donald....

Behind the Behind the Scenes
“What happens behind the camera does not stay behind the camera!”
There is a general fascination with the Behind The Scenes segments of movies and television shows. The general public is curious to know what goes into making a movie. Broadcasters and producers know how to take advantage of that by adding these segments into their DVD portion of their own in addition to their bloopers. But, does everything always go as planned Behind The Scenes? This show will explore what goes into the making of the Behind The Scenes, the goofs made by the catering companies, we will find the real wardrobe blunders, anything else that will not only leave the audience laughing but will probably embarrass a cameraman, producer, director, or someone involved with making those segments. For those in film schools or just interested in the “how it is made” process this show will be an eye opening experience if produced as an educational tool as well as entertainment.

Half Way Home
“Everyday we are Half Way Home”
This Documentary will portray the lives of people who have spent time in a rehabilitation center, prison, or psychiatric facility and who have been approved to live in a half way home.
Historically, halfway houses or recovery houses have been found in very poor neighborhoods where there are a lot of drugs, crime, and other temptations which have lead them to be instituted in the first place. For many of these patients, moving into the ‘real world’ can be a great challenge. While they are under restriction, they have no say as to what they can or can not do. Gaining that freedom again can become overwhelming, which can lead a patient to relapse. This documentary will show others that the battle for these patients really starts when they are permitted back into society even with the help of professionals. The outpatient treatments for a patient living in a halfway home include 24 hour crisis management and transportation to and from therapy sessions. Patients receive one on one treatment in a group setting and they are also given individual special treatment. We will follow these patients as they go through their daily lives and make the transition back into living a "normal" life again.
1. A Newly released drug addict has been permitted to move into a halfway home. He is thrilled with the progress he has made in the institution and is looking forward to having some freedom again. He knows the risk of relapsing and believe that with the support of therapist and some family, he can live a drug free life.
2. A former alcoholic who has been living in a half-way home for months is ready to move on his own and start his life again. However, his therapist do not believe that he is ready to do so. With no support from his family, he is struggling to live a straight path.
3. After months of living in a half-way home, this patient is cleared to move out of the half-way home and get a place of his own. He will of course continue to attend weekly therapy session and continues to take prescribed medication.

Male Bonding
"It's a Guy Thing"
Male Bonding examines the lives of four male friends in their mid thirties doing their best to make their way in life. The men come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and have vastly different careers, but the issues they encounter are universal: Am I doing what’s best for my family? Am I more than just my job description? Is my work fulfilling? Is my life fulfilling? Their problems are serious but they deal with them in a light, comedic way.
The characters all work in different fields. Therefore each episode will concentrate on a different main character. Their jobs do enable them to utilize the services of the others. However, the real through line will be that they spend their time after work and on weekends with each other, and they seek solace and advice from the others when they have problems in their personal or professional lives.
The show will star five unknown actors in the four lead roles and in the one main supporting role. The secondary characters and the guest stars may be local actors but may also include established actors whose names and faces will be familiar to the viewers.
Each episode will stand on its own. However, the characters will evolve through story arcs. One character is harboring a secret; another has a propensity for addiction and is frequently tempted by drugs and alcohol. Still another has a seemingly perfect career that brings him absolutely no fulfillment. Another character has a promising career with the Republican Party but has to come to terms with the fact that he is more liberal than his party compatriots. Another character is undecided about whether to marry his girlfriend. The audience will follow these characters as they make choices that affect their future and the future of the people in their lives.
