‘The Ark’ trilogy is a motion picture film Sci-Fi adventure which blends the realms of what we as humans are able to conceive and believe to be our existence in life and the possibilities of inter dimensional travel via rips in space-time. The trilogy has been in development since mid 2009 by writers A.J. Carter and Joe Brouillette. With influences from such motion picture films as ‘The Matrix’, ‘AVATAR’, ‘Inception’ & ‘Indiana Jones’, the unique concept inherent in ‘The Ark’ is set to question Quantum Physics and our evolution of life as we know it.

T.W.A.T. (Tactical Women’s Anti-Assault Team) is an explosively charged, action / comedy blend with topical themes and sexual innuendo thrown into the mix. Set to be the very first [3D] film to be shot in Western Australia, many professional film makers have attached themselves to the project to tell this quirky and very original story whilst assisting to pioneering [3D] live action technology in Australia.
Synopsis: Professional athletes world wide- Beware! When superstar sports hero Guy Champ meets Charlotte, a cute 20 something blond groupie in a bar, he takes her home for some extra fun and mischief but the nights proceedings don’t necessary go to plan. Guy thinks he has sealed the deal with getting Charlotte into bed after he presents her with a ‘consensual act’ contract in order to prevent his career & reputation from being destroyed, but he couldn’t be more wrong when the T.W.A.T team come to Charlotte’s rescue!
With all the off field dramas surrounding sports stars currently in the media, the topical nature and primary theme of T.W.A.T. along with a cleverly articulated screenplay provide a solid foundation for a film with a unique ability to encapsulate audiences world wide.
Title: The Pictures
Duration: 12x 30 minute episodes
Genre: Comedy
Format: High Definition
Honoring the unique story telling style of Ricky Gervais’ and Stephen Merchant’s The Office, co writer and Director A.J. Carter and writer Lukas William Martin are tight lipped about the exact outline of the show but are revealing it is set within the confines of a movie theatre in Perth, Western Australia and the team have absolutely no intentions of filming in the U.S.A. or the U. K.
“I think this series will work extremely well in Perth and there is no need to be taking the production overseas. We’re not writing this for the American or British market, we are writing this for Australian’s so it makes no sense to be taking the production overseas. There are some extremely talented film crews here in Perth and I believe it’s about time we put Perth on the map through network television.” says Writer / Director A.J. Carter. “We are already in negotiations with several independent investors who have shown extreme interest in the series and I am sure we will also receive support from local funding body Screen West.”
The Pictures concept has been registered and production is well into the late development stage. Pilot shooting scheduled for January 2011.
Title: Playing with Playmates
Duration: 12 x 30 minute episodes TBA
Genre: Drama / Reality
Format: High Definition
The TV Series pilot produced as a joint venture between Smooth Motion Films USA and Kalypso Interactive LLC was filmed in Ontario, Canada. Series creators and producers A.J. Carter, Kate Separovich and Jayde Nicole will be pushing the ‘The Hills’ style docu drama in early 2010.
The series revolves around the girls of the Playboy mansion, particularly Playmate of the Year 2008 Jayde Nicole and the private and not so private aspects of the girls lives. From personal friendships and boyfriend dramas to the glitz and glamor of hating the entertainment industry at your doorstep, the series takes viewers where cameras have never been before, exposing the REAL behind the scenes lives of these celebrities, the parties, the paparazzi and shows us just how Hollywood ‘ticks’.
Pilot director A.J. Carter pushed for a more ‘eye candy’ style of filming, throwing away the typical low budget, shaky camera styles and cheap editing effects inherent in regular reality television and opted for a more controlled finish with plans to use Cinematographers for the finished series instead of just ‘cameramen’. “I think the style and exclusiveness of the content in the show warrants a more beautiful and polished feel to the final series than just following the girls around with a few cheap cameras held by monkeys. It’s got to look brilliant, just like a high end documentary shot on film. We want the audience to feel the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, not just ‘show’ it to them” says Carter. Further negotiations will be held late Feb with the interested networks whilst not foreshadowing the possibility of several major USA based networks interest for the rights to the show.
