THE MOOD OF RED

ACTION/THRILLER

Red is the color that we pay the most attention to. It is the warmest and most energetic color in the spectrum. We associate red with love, valentines, danger, desire, speed, strength, violence, anger, emergency, exit signs, stop signs and blood! Red can evoke a fight-or-flight, raise blood pressure and make the heart beat faster. Red would not be the color of choice for psychiatric wards, prisons or a hospital. But for Bryan Kendall… Red is his mood! He had a wonderful life, and a perfect existence: a perfect wife, carrying their first child, a perfect house, and a perfect job… But then a crime was committed – a crime so horrible that not only does it rob him of everything and everyone he loves, but also drowns him in a sea of anguish and a Mood of Red. Mild-mannered Bryan Kendall who believes firmly in the God of the Old Testament, is driven to a psychological state if RED… a frame of mind where he takes his own revenge upon the perpetrating devils who shattered his once perfect existence.

THE COOL CITY CHRONICLES

CRIME/DRAMA/MYSTERY/MUSIC

An “enemy of the state” is a person accused of certain crimes against the state, such as treason. Describing individuals in this way is sometimes a manifestation of political repression. A regime may purport to maintain national security by describing social or political dissidents as "enemies of the state". In some cases, the individual in question may have legitimately endangered the country and/or its population by selling military or intelligence secrets that undermines a nation's security, and could therefore be considered an enemy not of just a person or entity within a state, but of the state itself and all entities therein…

Imagine if you were mistakenly labeled an enemy of the state, but not by the government. Instead, you’ve been miss-labeled by rather a private corporation with the power to exercise and manipulate government authority!

Cool City Chronicles follows spoken word poet Rapper Yorrick Manner, the most unlikely anti-hero protagonist, whose world is totally destroyed and he’s being taken down a rabbit hole where he will have to learn fast and move quick!! Yorrick is meant to be fascinating, because he’s this ultra-normal young person who gets dragged into an ultra-abnormal circumstance but clings as hard as she can to his very basic decency while in search of the truth.
