Heartsgaard is a comedy about fate, love, and other excuses... the story of Conrad Elisson, an actor with a recurring dream about Viking berzerkers, the mythological age of Ragnarok, and the white-haired witch who guides him into battle.
When he meets the woman who's been dreaming of prophesy, magic, and her Viking warrior, Conrad turns his life upside down choosing between a world of acting gigs and credit card bills, and one of prophecy and war.
Mariko (THE PROPHET):
28-35 years old. When she was young, Mariko's visions gave her a hard time connecting with reality, and her search for both answers and excuses lured into the drug culture at a very young age.
Five years ago, she met Conrad's best friend Simone in New York. Both women are artists, and they both share a rebellious streak - they were great friends until Mariko stole the money Simone was saving for an upcoming piece of performance installation, and used it for drugs. Since then, Mariko has cleaned up her act and earned a second chance with Simone.
In terms of production, Heartsgaard is currently in workshop as an interactive stage production through a budding repertory media company called 8 Sided Films. When our stage production has generated enough press, our ensemble has the production and distribution relationships to release a Heartsgaard film theatrically, on a limited basis. Both Heartsgaard and another project currently in pre-production are benefiting from our collective efforts to build a wider release on the foundation of ticket sales, largely using advance social media and viral marketing.
If you'd like to know more about us and our work, please visit us at http://www.8sidedforum.com/. If you'd like to read the current draft of the screenplay or the stageplay, you can do so in the Heartsgaard discussion section, at www.8sidedforum.com/group/heartsgaard.
If you or anyone you know might be our prophet, please send headshots and resumes to tennyson@8sidedfilms.com.
