BASED ON THE BEST-SELLING BOOK SERIES BY TOM HOLT

Paul Carpenter is a new intern at the mysterious London firm JW Wells & Co. Sure, Paul is grateful to have a stable job at a respectable company. However, he and Sophie, the other new intern who started the same day, become steadily aware that their employers are anything but conventional.

Peculiarities start arising throughout the building, not to mention bizarre interactions with the board members. But when goblins start taking over at the office after-hours, it’s pretty much confirmed that JW Wells & Co. is into a bit more magic than corporate takeovers… Think Harry Potter meets The Office.

DIRECTOR: Gracie Otto EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Rose Byrne CAST: Krew Boylan Danny Nozell Bobby Cannavale & the iconic Dolly Parton Daniel Webber

Seriously Red is a rowdy, feel-good musical dramedy celebrating complicated women and their journey to self-acceptance. Even when the road is lined with bad wigs and a full cache’s worth of Dolly Parton YouTube Videos.

We meet Red at a crossroad in her life. A vivacious, hilarious redhead grappling with high expectations and low self-esteem. Trading her career in real estate for a life under the spotlight as a Dolly Parton impersonator, Red quickly learns that having your name in lights does not guarantee success or happiness.

The film surprises and delights as our underdog reaches for her dreams only to discover they were a lot closer than she ever thought.

Reminiscent of the worlds created in Muriel’s Wedding, La La Land and Nine to Five, there’s an endearing lightness to Seriously Red. Drenched with iconic Dolly tunes, the film is a love letter to Red’s admiration for Dolly Parton. And Red soon comes to the realization that, as Dolly Parton says, ‘Be Yourself Because Everyone Else Is Taken.’ VIEW SCRIPT

It’s “Like Mean Girls … with medical alert bracelets!” Inspired by a true story, when Helen moves into the Pine Grove retirement center, everything is practically perfect — except for the feisty and curmudgeonly clique The Queen B’s who dominate the community (guess what the “B” stands for?). Now she’s about to discover that 80 is the new 18, as her Golden Years are swept up in high school politics like popularity, fitting in, friend groups, boyfriends and outrageous mishaps every step of the way. It’s a heartwarming comedy adventure about finding yourself (and love) when you least expect it.
