The LOG LINE: The struggle with retrieving and accepting memory with its unique ramifications is paramount. The narrative of this adaptation of the novel "Straw Man" unfolds as a detective story with twisting turns of decision making and fact finding. 
       The STORY and STORY LINE: As an intellectually-romantic love story, a struggle with an acceptance of memory is consistent, as the protagonist repeatedly sets memory aside. Being in his fifties with newly retrieved memories, he is able to reflect on both the negative and positive controls set forth by his female loves, his relatives, and his long term friends. The love interest is shown to experience Dissociative Identity Disorder symptoms (DID. or Multiple Personalities) as the story evolves around coping with her personal history, her resulting actions and her final hospitalization. The ultimate form of rationalization is shown to be his forgetting, and then carrying on as if that inflicted hurt did not exist.
       The PLOT LINE: Flashbacks of childhood brutality occur during recuperation from Dissociative Systemized Amnesia. "Tony" must first realize that amnesia existed by way of flashbacks and he needed to believe that he was insane with false memories, or – sane with accepting the memories.
       The SUBPLOT and CHARACTER ARC: The retrieval of lost memories was followed by a self-reflective process relative to life choices of both vocation and relationships. The individual of the storyline has been somewhat controlled throughout his life and comes to the full realization of this. Love conflicts and change in lifestyle patterns are at an interesting and credible level. Exploring the realm of Hypnotherapy and Psychology, the storyline is nonfiction and it does have a happy ending.
       The uniqueness is firstly, that these types of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder have only been defined within the last two decades, and secondly, only less academically correct stories of Multiple Personalities were available. © Lonnie P. Pelletier 2008.

       The LOG LINE: Danger, adventure and the unknown are a part of the life of Jean Pelletier as he leaves France in 1641 at fourteen years old and begins his life in Canada. It presents his ongoing struggle, as that of being fulfilled with being an artist, versus being a farmer - and Anne's unusual marriage at thirteen to him.
       The STORY LINE: Seventeenth century mythology, the controls and rigidity of the Catholic Church, along with daily fears of the unknown, are incorporated throughout with ongoing subtlety. In a youth of adult responsibility, both Jean and Anne's obedience to church and family is consistent, however, the story evolves through Jean's struggles with being an artist in a land of rugged toil and Anne's determination to produce a large family. Jean becomes known throughout the two regions for his pottery, but is tied to the land as a farmer, father and obedient son. Twenty-first century perceptions create an opportunity to revisit a story of history in a manner never before shown.
       The PLOT LINE: Contrary to most writings about early New France, this script is written by a Western Canadian, hence a varied outlook as compared. The story is based on fact and documented history, albeit documents showing the negative impact on Jean and Anne, as they are used as pawns by both church and state. This adaptation of the novel titled, "Anne And Jean" is also available for production in French. © Lonnie P. Pelletier 2008.

       The LOG LINE: This is a musical with a very positive presentation of our life cycle as having gained one extra quarter of its total. With change in life style being a primary focus, the musical play is evocative of the assumption that this is a creative third quarter, rather than that of merely gaining additional elderly years.
       The SCENARIO: A musical romantic comedy about divorce, adjustment to mid-life and the reuniting of two high school sweethearts. It is an adaptation from the musical play and takes place in the Gulf Islands of the Pacific Coast. This is a low budget film as the three scenes are easily shot in existing natural scenery with one cabin sequence.
       The PLOT LINE: Life, even after fifty, is not without issues, and as in any of the comicality, the sentimental is more profound, and of greater relevant substance, when taken from the family problems of real life. A mature age group will identify with the premise that not only have we all statistically been granted an extra one quarter of life to enhance our 21st century lifestyle, we've been given a second chance.
       The SUBPLOT: The music sets forth the premise that this is a time to live and love - again - in this, our life's third quarter. Optional music is included above the length of the original one and one-half hour musical play. © Lonnie P. Pelletier 2008.

       The LOG LINE: This is comedy and frolic with hopefully not a serious line in it. It was written with the intent of presenting a contemporary "Gullivers Travels" for comedians. A common thread of decadence is happily shown, coupled with a positive exploration for love and a light hearted search for self-worth.
       The SCENARIO: A fun presentation about sex and travel to fictitious lands, this is a low budget film as the scenes are easily shot in existing natural scenery on any of the worlds beaches - as the lead comedian takes us through Robbie's rather dubious world adventures.
       The PLOT LINE: The plot is held together by a use of narration with a subtle use of references to many travelogues, international intrigue and just having fun. The music includes rather lewd songs, as now almost forgotten, from the 1940s and 1950's. They were never recorded as they only existed at parties accompanied by an adequate amount of alcohol.
       As an adaptation from the play, the script works much better in film. The film script is also easily adapted to animation. The misspelling of the name is intentional and the work requires one more edit for completion.  © Lonnie P. Pelletier 2012.

        The LOG LINE: The lives of the Pelletier descendants evolve from the 15th through to the 20th century showing the history of Canada as entertainment. Each region settled gives personal and political intrigue.
        The STORY LINE: The moves of the family coincide with new early settlements and the challenges of those pioneering areas. The stories of these individuals are both stand alone chronicles and a reflection of history leading into the future. The chronicles are about love and adventure, with a balance of the realism of frustration and failure.
       The PLOT: Canadian civilization and culture has evolved and expanded, in spite of often ridiculous administrative control by both church and state. The script has been written for CGI and animation format. © Lonnie P. Pelletier 2009.

       The LOG LINE: Ancient sites and art may be shown to be rebuilt or restored beyond that which may be called authentic. That which was original is often changed to being merely a simulated antique, a reproduction. The visual repercussions of tourism changing due to changing presentations of history is shown.
