PROOF of CONCEPT

This 30 second PROOF OF CONCEPT, created and produced by Brainy Pixel Productions LLC, shows the quality of Animation we will use to make the Live Action/Animated Feature Film, JEREMY, come to life.

In loving memory of Mrs. Gaylynn Smith and Ms. Maria DiAngelis

Jeremy, my faith-based feature length screenplay, concerns nine-year-old Jeremy who is bullied at school for his belief in God. As Jeremy navigates his feelings concerning his faith, he soon learns with the help of his new friend, Margaret, and her Native American Grandfather that bravery and courage can make a superhero out of anyone – even a third grader.

Jeremy Reviews

    Faith & Family Screenwriting Academy - Geoffrey Ivan

    Regarding Jeremy, It is not common for us to pass on notes from the judges, but in this case the judge specifically suggested I tell you your script is "absolutely beautiful" "The formatting and overall structure, knocks this out as a main contender to win, but the bones are there for something that could be really magical!"

      Christopher Covell – Professional Script Reader

      JEREMY is a very sweet, creative, and entertaining movie that does a solid job in telling an emotional story, while at the same time, also sharing the truth of the Gospel. While the stories of the Bible are certainly for everyone, the movie’s child POV, the lightheartedness, and the fun animated sequences throughout lend this movie most strongly to a younger audience – and in doing so, I feel like movie could serve as a great education tool for kids to both learn the stories of the Bible and how they can apply those stories to their lives. Within all of this, JEREMY serves as a sympathetic protagonist, and his relationships with those around him are dynamic, have depth, and are filled with lots of heart.

        Greenlight Coverage

        In summary, the screenplay has warmth, heart, and positive themes that shine through… The portrayal of Jeremy's faith journey and how he grapples with bullying while trying to stand up for his beliefs is compelling. It allows the audience to connect with him… The friendship between Jeremy, Margaret, Franklin and eventually Tommy is heartwarming, showing how differences can be overcome… Grandfather is a wise, compelling character who acts as a mentor to the children about faith, forgiveness, and the afterlife. His words and stories are impactful… There are some powerful animated sequences visualizing Bible stories that help bring them to life.
