TITLE
Elevation to the Depths I (10-10-22)
Logline 1.
A scientist creates a Gravity Cannon; the ultimate deterrent
/ weapon - and is the only one who can save the world from
its lethal power.
Logline 2.
The development of a gravity-based weapon by a group of
determined scientists leads to a power struggle and global
catastrophe.
Synopsis.
(Arizona, USA. Recent past.)
In Fort Destiny's top-secret facility, scientist HENRY JOHNSON
presents DAVID, his new gravity-firing cannon.
The experiment goes horribly wrong and Henry is killed in
front of his prodigy, scientist JOHN HANSON, friends Major
MIKE COLLINS, and Professor ALI TOMLIN, and a small military
group.
That evening, John's house and family are blown-up in an
attempt to stop the cannon being made, but John survives.
John completes Henrys work, and DAVID is now a streamlined
weapons system. However the good times are not set to last.
'Others' now want DAVIDs heart; a Positron Amplifier.
Two men arrive in town. They infiltrate the two Fort Destiny
Techs, DANNY and TOM, and take them over using sophisticated
brain implants.
Mirroring the previous test, John presents DAVID to military
overseers at Fort Destiny. This time, the test is successful
and everyone is in awe of its potential as the ultimate
deterrent / weapon for war.
The two doomed Techs try to steal the amplifier, but are
forced to use DAVID to attack the base. It fires a large
quantity of gravity into the floor. Super-gravity forms and
destroys everything in its path.
John and Mike manage to escape, but the base is in absolute
chaos. Gravity normalizes by early morning, and life returns
to normal, but the weather is turning nasty.
John discovers gravity is reducing. It must be reversed, or
at least stopped.
Gravity loss de-stabilizes the entire world! Gigantic
Tsunamis, hurricanes, monsoons and tornadoes sweep the Earth.
The Moon leaves earth orbit. The world will surely perish.
DAVID was borne of GOLIATH, a particle accelerator. John
must resurrect GOLIATH and use it to "cancel out" DAVIDs
terrible damage.
Working in horrendous conditions, John is almost beat until
Ali sacrifices her life to ensure GOLIATH works and saves
them all.
Elevation To The Depths is a high-octane thrill ride of epic
proportions, showing "the road to Hell is paved with good
intentions."

LOGLINE:
Two astronauts escaping the horror of a self-destructing
Earth travel through a wormhole and back in time to another
universe with a parallel Earth, then try saving this Earth
from a similar fate.
Earth is being destroyed by weather produced from gravity
experiments. The two surviving crew members of the
International Space Station escape through a wormhole and
back in time to another universe with a parallel Earth,
then try saving this Earth from a similar fate.
Crew move the International Space Station out of orbit to
escape Earth being destroyed by gravity experiments, then
go through a wormhole putting them on course to another
Earth two days before the disastrous event.
SYNOPSIS 1:
Earth is under attack the obliteration self-inflicted. The
military's gravity-amplification test gone wrong.
Diminishing gravity's devouring the world. Witnessing all
this is Space vessel ISS; its crew stunned. The question:
Space dive to earth, abandon ship? Or stay with the ship,
try to survive in space? Arguments ensue, then a mutiny.
All die but Captain Charles Collins and Science Officer
Leigh Steinbeck.
The ship's course is set for Alpha Centauri. If they're to
die, let this sun cremate their remains. Only 32 minutes
left, Charles and Leigh prepare for death, until… they
come upon something, a distortion in space. It resembles a
bottomless pit, a giant pulsating tapeworm that could
swallow the ISS whole. With fuel exhausted, they can't
maneuvers around it. Entering the wormhole, energy particles
atomize, wall clocks blur: time itself shifts… Charles and
Leigh awake, a clock shows they have gone back in time,
one week. Time travel is possible, and something else; in
this Milky Way, the stars are reversed. A parallel universe!
Having gone back a week, this earth's gravity tests have
yet to be performed. The man-made catastrophe has yet to
happen! They plan a space-jump, but are saved by a spaceshuttle
and flown down to earth.
Earth, Arizona. It's not a hero's welcome that awaits Leigh
and Charles. Military police (MP) escort them to a topsecret
army detention center. Leigh and Charles are dragged
out the transport; Leigh collapsing, taken to a hospital
And, oh yes, 'what the hell is he doing in space sabotaging
our space-station?' Charles tells them of the wormhole. He
begs the skeptical agents to stop the gravity test; that a
cataclysm awaits.
An android scientist, Tank, hears the warnings: Sub-atomic
particle testing will destroy his world. He confirms a
test is planned for the Fort Destiny facility, 50 miles
from there, tomorrow! Charles pleads: Abort the tests! The
world as you know it will end!
Tank reunites Charles and Leigh. He smuggles them out of
the detention center in a Hummer, making for Fort Destiny.
They arrive, but too late; the test just concluded. The
particle accelerator blurs, the test area stretches into a
cone of amalgamating black holes. MPs stare in disbelief,
scientists flee; the Black Hole is upon them, swallowing
everything.
Tank, Leigh, and Charles race to escape in the Hummer.
There's only one chance left: Space shuttle GENESIS,
preparing for an emergency blast off. The Black Hole sucks
all life into its void as the trio fights their way aboard.
Doors close, systems fire, the Genesis rises as Earth is
enveloped in darkness.
Above it all, Charles and Leigh, are alive. Seeking out
the wormhole to escape this universe, they find it,
pulsating, organic. They move toward it. The shuttle is
swallowed by the wormhole. Inside the Genesis, Leigh and
Charles stare in stunned awe, magnified eyes like lightsabers
staring into the darkness of an unknown Universe. A
distant sun appears; a glimmer of Hope. Charles and Leigh
hold hands, Turk steers them, and a large human cargo,
toward the New World.
SYNOPSIS 2:
The Earth is thrown into chaos after its gravitational
pull collapses in a botched experiment. When all efforts
to reverse the disaster prove fruitless, the crew members
of the badly-damaged International Space Station (ISS)
must decide whether to maintain orbital position or drift
away from Earth into space, thereby giving them a fighting
chance of survival.
When COMMANDER CHARLES COLLINS chooses the latter, crew
members HERNANDEZ and TODD mutiny, and taking Charles'
gun, kill several of their fellow officers, including flight
engineer PHIL and flight officer FLOYD. Todd tries to murder
medical officer LUCY by cutting her loose into space, little
realizing she has already attached their life-lines so
that Todd is dragged to his doom as well. Meanwhile Science
Officer LEIGH STEINBECK helps Charles escape his shackles
and together they dispatch Hernandez with a nail-gun, though
too late to save the rest of the crew.
Now alone in the space station, Charles and Leigh find
solace in one another's arms as they anticipate certain
doom. But then they discover that the space station is
being sucked into a wormhole and there's nothing they can
do to avoid it. To their shock, they emerge on the other
side of the wormhole in the atmosphere of another Earth,
just like the one they left... a parallel universe.
Moreover, they have gone back in time to just before the
events that led to the collapse of gravity… What if the
same thing is about to happen here that happened on their
Earth?
Seized by the military, Charles and Leigh warn COLONEL
DRAKE and AGENTS BRETT and ETHEN that they're in imminent
danger only to be locked up as terrorists. Their only hope
is an android named TANK who, by accessing Leigh's memories,
realizes they're telling the truth. Tank helps Charles and
Leigh escape and together they race to Fort Destiny, where
the particle physics experiment that destroys gravity is
about to be conducted.
However, despite their best efforts, they prove unable to
prevent the disaster from unfolding exactly as before.
Instead, Charles, Leigh and Tank are forced to flee Fort
Destiny, pursued by Brett and Ethen, who now realize Charles
was telling the truth. Tank sacrifices his life in the
pursuit, enabling Charles and Leigh to make it back to the
National Space and Aeronautics Center just in time to board
the Genesis space shuttle, which is taking as many
passengers as possible to safety away from the Earth's
increasing gravity.
On-board the Genesis is TRUK, a clone of Tank who has all
his memories. They take off into space, Charles and Leigh
wondering if every Earth in every parallel universe is
destined to suffer the same fate. Together, they search
for a wormhole that can lead them to a stable Earth, or
one where they can actually succeed in preventing the
gravitational disaster they have so far been unable to
stop. Eventually they find one possible wormhole and are
sucked in emerging the other side into a dark, silent
universe where the search for a new home must begin yet
again…

Elevation to the Depths III (29-07-23)
Logline:
An android and his cargo of 500 humans manage to escape
from one 'Hell on Earth' only to end up on another, where
Almighty God makes their situation frighteningly worse.
Synopsis:
Leigh, Charles and a robot named Tork are the only active
beings on Genesis: a space vehicle carrying several hundred
humans and humanoids across galaxies. Having escaped Earth
as it collapses and disintegrates into nothingness, they
seek a new habitable home via a wormhole. Entering a new
galaxy / parallel universe, they find themselves a habitable
planet which they cannot escape and which appears have
other settlers in a similar predicament. These other beings
cannot be communicated with. The plants in this world do
not reproduce, the jungles do not smell, there is no
rainfall, no erosion and no other sign of concurrent animal
life exists.
In the jungle, out of nowhere, some maggoty, snake-like
creature appears, followed by a whole army which swiftly
kills two humans. An innumerable array of brutal attacks
on the new settlers commence, from unknown plants and
animals alike, named Octopedes and Razorbacks.
Strange people turn out to live on the planet and tell
them of low food rations and that no further life forms
exist. Nevertheless, only one third of human population
remains after an onslaught from indigenous creatures.
After further attacks from radiation killing nearly all of
the settlers, an alien GOD, who embodies Brad (originally
a civilian on board), claims that eternal supernatural
beings have been installing randomly produced humans on
every Earth-like planet in allotted universes for nearly
four trillion years with the intention of cleansing humanity
of impurity. The God in Brad form admits he wants to escape
this universe. Tork proffers an ultimatum: if they succeed
in leaving the universe, they part ways and are left to do
as they please, if not they face an eternity of suffering.
Eventually, they escape to a distant solar system but will
not arrive to their planned destination until Leigh and
Charles are in their 70s...
