Phenom
Concept Trailer
Every now and then life brings along a story that only happens once in a lifetime. Seven years after losing his entire family in a crash, 14 year old Terrance Alexander is accused of brutally murdering his 69 year old lifelong friend and caretaker. The case is rushed through the court system, and Terrance is convicted and sentenced as an adult to 54 years in Angola. The community is outraged as rumors of corruption and a crooked DA circulate.
During his first 2 years in prison young Terrance is abused and becomes suicidal, but he finds hope in the encouraging words of a few unlikely inmates. Then something amazing happens. From the ages of 16 - 18, he grows 11 inches and puts on 80 pounds, and he picks up a new hobby - basketball.
Terrance quickly excels on the court and begins to stand up to his prison enemies. As news of his basketball skills begin to spread, he becomes the most sought after recruit in the prison basketball league - a world hidden to most.
News leaks outside of the prison walls of Terrance's skills, and when a sports reporter goes undercover to catch a prison game, he secretly films Terrance with his cell phone. The footage goes viral and many in the sports world start to say that Terrance has more raw talent than even Lebron James.
Commentators, fans, and players begin wondering, "Is the greatest basketball phenom the world has ever seen serving a 50 year prison sentence for a crime he didn't commit, and what can we do about it?"

Kidnapped
When 8 year old Josias Collins is yanked into a mysterious white van after school, he is immediately thrown into a dangerous and twisted web of debt and deception, where loyalty has checked out, and he alone is everyone's ticket.

In a moment he is forced into the care of Lydia Eaves, a young tattoo artist with a chip on her shoulder against kids and God, who reluctantly agrees to watch the boy for 24 hours. What ensues is more than Lydia bargained for, as she gets in over her head in a race for survival that forces her and Josias to extremes neither of them ever knew.
