ODE is a PG13, whimsical, comedy/drama with elements of fantasy and mystery.

     Shirley Knight, two-time Academy Award Nominee (Sweet Bird Of Youth, As Good As It Gets, Our Idiot Brother, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, The Rain People, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood) is attached to play the lead female role of Marny.

     Eddie Steeples (My Name Is Earl, Akeelah & The Bee, Would You Rather, I Know Who Killed Me) is attached to play the major co-starring role of Paul.

     Charles Matthau (Freaky Deaky, The Sugar Shack, Hanging Up, The Grass Harp) is attached to play the major co-starring role of Doctor Joe.

     ODE has a Mother's Day marketing platform, a major component of the business profile. Pre-sale of brand marketing rights for the domestic and international theatrical release could easily recoup production costs before the film enters the market.

     More than 135 countries worldwide celebrate Mother's Day. It is the busiest sales day of the year for many major corporations, including telecommunications. This would provide a brilliant SMART PHONE MARKETING PLATFORM for companies like Blackberry, iPhone, Android, AT&T, Google, Windows, Skype, Sprint, etc.

     It is important to note that ODE is a stand-alone story not solely reliant on the above-referenced marketing platform. Specific narrative structures were written to directly include teenage and adult male audiences.

     Locations have been scouted in Los Angeles and Arizona. ODE has simple production values and is scheduled for 21 production days.
