INTRODUCTION :
Having completed a law degree in
Johannesburg, South Africa in the mid-90's, I embarked on extensive visits to
India, Kashmir and Pakistan...
I enjoyed a short stint in television
and film production on my return & followed that up with work in community
radio presentation & production in Cape Town.
Lately, I have entered the arena of
sustainability and bio-safety regulation with an increasing interest in
geopolitics.
Presently, residing in Cape Town ...

"KHYBER PASS"
TAG LINE : “Blind
Love Can Heal Broken Divides …"
GENRE : “Khyber Pass” is
a fictional dramatic feature film !
LOG LINE : Two people’s
need to redeem a world and console a nation along the lines of "Charlie
Wilson's War" meets "The English Patient", BUT contemporary.
Based on real life incidents.
SETTING : Afghan
/ Pakistan Border …
WRAP : Molly (Marisa Tomei) is
an elite intelligence agent in the US. She has a legacy to fulfill … She
follows in her father’s footsteps (Harvey Keitel), a marine, who has since
entered politics. Her mother (Lauren Bacall), divorced, is an ex-war
correspondent who’s a product of an ensconced series of embedded war journalism
and rigid bureaucracy, and still shapes the news …
Molly’s just finished an operation in
Afghanistan as a “peace officer” and although teetering on burnout, accepts an
offer to investigate human rights abuses in a remote village on the Western
Pakistan-Afghan border in the Swat Valley and Buner Districts. The intelligence
agencies, however wish to salvage information on a near mythical
jihadist-leader and hope she can get under the skin of the community.
Her past and maternal instincts to
settle down and start a family of her own, come to a head as primal customs
lead to the surfacing of a heady infusion of shame; flashbacks of guilt, joy
and unabashed passion.
Confused, yet adamant, she falls for
an attractive militant, Sayed (James Franco), who she knows will spin the yarn
and close the divide in her fractured heart. She follows him and must win the
trust of his companions...
There’s catastrophe and destruction;
challenges of trust and the need to return home with the consequences !
PROJECT’S POTENTIAL : I have
sought advice from Chris Roland (Hotel Rwanda, Charlie Jade, Darfur), Janet van
Eeden (White Lion, A Shot At The Big Time), Malik Basso (Garnata Media), Tess
Fairweather (SAWG) & Sue Isserow (SASWA) regarding the logistics of such a
project.
Aforementioned have liked the pitch and
are willing to support & work on it, with the intention of supplying a spec
to Lori McCreary (Morgan Freeman) via local production company, “Moonlighting”
(Genevieve Hofmeyr).
