A TWO WEEK SUMMER RETREAT...
FOR THE COUNTRY'S MOST ELITE!
WEAVING SPIDERS COME NOT HERE
During the last few years, I've been working on what began as an inkling of curiosity for something I knew nothing about, and after diving into research, became my senior thesis project in film school, and continued after graduating with a BFA in Screenwriting.
Initially, I drafted a screenplay for a feature film, and later re-adapted the story to sustain a series. Needless to say, I wouldn't have the passion to spend years of my life on this, if it weren't for the absurdity, the mystery, the unknown perils of...
The Bohemian Grove.
I've read books, articles, watched grainy videos, interviews, podcasts, to learn that what happens there, is still rather unclear.
What I do know, is that every year, some of the most wealthy, powerful men, meet in the forests of Northern California to discuss business deals, put on plays, and pray to an owl god in mock-sacrifice. These people (have) include(d) Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, George Bush, Mark Twain, Walter Cronkite, Jack London, and Charles Schwab, to name a few...
While most horror films are dark and depressing, this project promises to be like nothing you’ve ever seen. Though there’s plenty of scares at night, THE GROVE will reignite the 70’s Grateful Dead tie-dye aesthetic from the Summer of Love. Any residual THC from your college days will spark a load of laughs during this dark mystery told in vibrant color. THE GROVE fuzes topical comedy (think Silicon Valley) with dangling mystery (think Mindhunter).
