QUANAH
Logline
The world's ongoing fascination with the stories of the American Indian vs. the US Calvary reaches a climax in QUANAH. The lives of renegade Comanche Quanah Parker, a dying, confession seeking, Calvary General that defeated him and the apprentice New York Times reporter impersonating a priest to get his story all collide to tell this incredible true story.
Synopsis
May 19 1836, renegade Comanche Indians captures CYNTHIA PARKER, 9, during the raid on Fort Parker, Texas. She grows up with the Indians and marries Comanche Chief, PETA NACONA, giving birth to blue eyed future Comanche chief, QUANAH PARKER.

He is tormented by Indian Spirits seeking their revenge and flashbacks of his commands in the Indian wars and the women and children he ordered killed.
He is especially tormented by memories of his battles with and the eventual capture of QUANAH PARKER the renegade Comanche, only to see him surrender on his own terms. After capturing Quanah, whom he greatly respected, his instincts to leave military service and stop the carnage were overshadowed by his longstanding ambition to become a Calvary General. After proving himself to his superiors by capturing or killing thousands more Indians, he was eventually promoted to Brigadier General in Texas. His triumph was short lived as the advanced stages of Syphilis began to destroy his brain. He was soon relieved of his command and sent to Bloomingdale Mental Hospital in New York.
After discharge, he moves to his cousins, ABAGAIL MACKENZIE, home on Staten Island. She seeks the help of CHARLES MILLER, the Editor of the NEW YORK TIMES, to tell his life story but Ranald demands a PRIEST to attain confession for his sins before he dies. The Editor's son, HOYT MILLER, on winter leave from Dartmouth, is assigned the task. He, reluctantly, masquerades as a Priest to get his story.
When he meets the troubled Ranald, who details the stories of his life in the Civil and Indian wars, he encounters Indian Spirits himself and struggles to work with the, sometimes, insanely violent Ranald.
He learns that, in Texas, Ranald commanded Civil War freed, black soldiers, BUFFALO SOLDIERS, to enslave another race, the AMERICAN INDIAN, part of the general's spiritual torment.
In the end, Ranald receives confession, dies and is buried with honors at West Point.
QUANAH, the last Comanche Chief who leads the surrendered Comanche to financial independence, has his mother's remains returned to the reservation and buried with her people. Three months later, he falls ill and dies, buried next to her.
His life changed forever, Hoyt attends Quanah's funeral, now, actually a priest.

THE WAVERIDERS
Logline
The "BIG CHILL" of surfing! Four middle aged, disillusioned, surfing buddies who followed the Endless Summer thirty years prior, set out again, chronicled by a skeptical teenager. Their world has changed and so will they.
Synopsis
The Waveriders are four restless, middle-aged surfers who grew up together in an idealistic California beach town during the late 60's. They were part of the sport, fashion, music, and the culture that became known as the 'Golden Age of Surfing.'
Thirty years ago, Skagg, Nate, Razz, and Crooner comprised a reckless surfing fraternity dubbed The Waveriders, whose mentor was a local surfing legend known only as "Waterman."
In their eighteenth summer, The Waveriders abruptly packed their surfboards and followed Waterman around the world on an outrageous surfing odyssey; armed only with a cheap home-movie camera.
While their maverick guide remained behind, the seasoned wayfarers returned home with memories of "the most bitchin' summer ever"
Richard Skagmar, the surfing champion turned surf bum; Nathan Standart, the millionaire beachwear mogul; Charles Rassman, the war hero turned restless dentist; and Steven Cromwell, the undiscovered rock star turned organ salesman still remained close friends and still join each summer to celebrate that certain summer they followed the sun.
For Skagg, each reunion of The Waveriders affords him another opportunity to persuade his comrades they should retrace their previous journey and locate Waterman.
Crooner and Razz are eager to accept Skagg's proposal. However, Nate owns a demanding surf wear company and always casts the dissenting vote while firmly vowing, "Next year, for sure next year!"
Yet it is Nate, while secretly facing the grim prognosis of a lifelong blood disease, who abruptly tells all that it is time for The Waveriders pursue the waves and find their missing friend.
Twenty-five years after their first adventure, they set off again to try to reclaim the past.
Against a backdrop of breath-taking scenery, unforgettable surfing sequences, and memorable surfing music, the futile adventures of The Waveriders are chronicled by Skagg's son, Keith; a cynical teenager who has been coerced into coming along by Uncle Nate in order to "hold the camera."
A self-conscious, late-blooming adolescent who is farmed off to his irresponsible father each summer, Keith grudgingly accompanies The Waveriders on their fateful journey, which will provide a unique passage to manhood for this shy, reluctant youth.
Unlike "the most bitchin' summer ever," nothing goes right for our travelers. It is in Hawaii, the paradise where their original adventures ended years ago, that The Waveriders finally confront inner failings, outer facades, and dark secrets and, ultimately, the true measure of friendship---while their youthful escort stumbles through adolescent insecurities and awkward sexual awakenings.
It is here that Razz faces the flashbacks of war induced by cowardice, Crooner confronts his delusions of fame and idolatry, Skagg comes to terms with his declining youth and celebrity and finally assumes adult responsibility, and Nate finally locates the elusive Waterman in time to reconcile a long-hidden secret and his deep fear of death.
It is here that young Keith falls in love for the first time, and eagerly claims his manhood along with the respect he has always desired from others.
It is here that our enlightened travelers bid a tragic farewell to one of their own.
Before their bittersweet journey is ended, our travelers will battle secret demons and hidden fears, experience heart-breaking revelations, which lead to personal victories and achieve, for each of them, a separate peace with their unrequited dreams.
Above all, they will come to understand the precious value of their friendship and realize that the summer must eventually end for everyone----even The Waveriders.
