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 in New Zealand. 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 initial stages of development. After creating a treatment & speaking to Australian producers on logistics, Elinor has written the script and is in the process of having it vetted by editors.
She has a pitch deck and is now looking for a Kiwi or Australian producer who is interested in discussing practicalities. She has connections to a potential Melbourne cinematographer and international composers. The first 10 minutes can be used as a proof of concept for investors.
