SYNOPSIS
NEW WORLD SYMPHONY is a vibrant comic drama that celebrates the unusual friendship of two weird & wonderful kids. In the streets of Melbourne, Adam—an artistic 13-year-old—crosses paths with Angela—a lonely Kiwi girl. Over the course of one magical day, they cement a friendship that is split apart by fate.
Years later, Adam is a wandering graffiti artist and Angela is a young adult trapped by circumstance. As they fight to break free of their surroundings, they keep being reminded of their long-lost soulmate. But in a world full of billions of people, how will they ever find each other?
DEVELOPMENT
NEW WORLD SYMPHONY is in the early stages of development. Elinor has a 5-page treatment with a detailed outline of the plot and 10 pages of the script as a sample.
She is looking for a Kiwi or Australian producer who is interested in developing the story and helping to raise money to shoot the first 10 minutes of the film. This can then be used as a proof of concept for investors.
