Mystery at Locust Grove

A short film showcasing historical Locust Grove

Logline:
Five precocious Pendleton kids attempt to track down a treasure they believe Lewis and Clark discovered on their expedition out west and brought home to Kentucky.

Synopsis:
It isn't so much that Scott doesn't like history, it's just that he's more interested in how the buildings might be demolished than any historical significance they might hold. His opinion of history takes a drastic turn, however, when he and his older brother, James, discover a cryptic set of letters and numbers carved into the molding over one of the doors in the Locust Grove house in Louisville, KY. Excited, they recruit their older sister, Rachel, to decipher what they believe is a clue, and their younger siblings, Matthew and Lydia, to help search for the next clue. The Pendleton kids bring history to the present in their search for what they believe could be a lost treasure from Lewis and Clark's expedition out west. This short film explores Locust Grove and champions family unity.

Script Length: 18 pages.Characters:

Rachel Pendleton, 15, loves to take things apart, see how they work, and put them back together again.
James Pendleton, 13, an artist, loves to paint, play instruments, and work on projects with his family.
Scott Pendleton, 11, outgoing and spunky, loves anything that blows up. Plans to be a demolition engineer when he grows up.
Matthew Pendleton, 9, follows Scott around and generally helps with blowing things up.
Lydia Pendleton, 7, loves anyone nice and anything pretty. She likes watching James work.
Mom Pendleton, 35-45, cheerfully puts up with a lot.
Miss Lacy, 30-60, the tour guide at Locust Grove.
Clerk, 20-50, the lady behind the counter at Locust Grove
Extras, 20-60, other people in the tour at Locust Grove

Mystery at Locust Grove will have an Internet release and will be available on DVD upon request. There is a possibility it will be entered into film festivals. The goal with this short film is to create a Proof of Concept to be used in procuring investment capital for a feature that builds off this idea. Being cast in this project does not guarantee a role in the feature.

Abigail and Naomi DeHaan are an award-winning sister writer/director team with one feature, The Audit, under their belts. The Audit won the Best Feature Award at the 2009 World Independent Film Expo in Richmond, KY and is an official selection in the 2009 KingDomWood Christian Film Festival in Georgia. Their long-term goal is to bring family-value films to the big screen.

Celebrities such as Debbie Allen (the honorary festival chair), Boris Kodjoe, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Tasha Smith and Tyler Williams were among those taking part in the festival's showcases, workshops and networking opportunities. Connections were made, deals were inked and the opportunities for exposure, education and empowerment were readily available.
