THE ECSTASY NOTE

Adapted from his short film of the same name, Geoff received funding for the first draft of the "TEN" feature script from la Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec in mid-2006 and writing will begin January 2007. An absurd dark comedy, the film follows the main character Henford, and his rocky relationship with his disfunctional and substance-addicted family, in the small town of Epiphanie as the population itself becomes slowly, tragically and hilariously addicted to Henford's new-found talent- the ecstasy note. Soon Henford's own family members are vying for free performances, having consolidated their previous addictions into one overriding jones- Henford. Is this good or bad? Should Henford just get rid of his own hand to stop the chaos? Will they let him, even if he finds the strength- which no one thinks he has- to end it all?
