Geek Syndicate ELEVATOR PITCHES What’s an Elevator Pitch? Imagine you have a production that you’ve put a lot of work, life and soul into. You love it.You know others would to. You get into an elevator, maybe in a hotel at a convention. At the same time, in walks a well-known editor. The doors close and you are alone. This is your chance - but you only have a short time to get your work noticed ... That’s the concept of Elevator Pitches. Provide us with a single sentence summarising your production and another explaining why we should pick it up. Follow this up with a preview and the pitch is done - let the work sell itself. If you would like to submit a production for this section, email: thegeeks@geeksyndicate.co.uk. The Wyrm and the Well Writer: Steve Sims Artist: Steve Sims Buy It From: UKONDSPLAY or via email at Stevesimsillustration@hotmail.com What is The Wyrm and the Well? “The Wyrm and the Well” is the moody and mysterious tale of a young boy, who whilst fishing late one night pulls more than his supper from the dark still waters of the local lake. Not wishing to eat his strange catch the boy discards it into a near by well, and thinking the creature dealt with, makes his way home to his bed. However as the seasons pass and time continues to change all that falls within its grasp, the boy comes to learn that his actions have much bigger consequences than he first thought.” Why should we pick this up? “From Steve Sims (creator of “Kaiju: Fire and Grimstone” and Illustrator of the “Beast Quest” series) comes a story inspired by the chronicles and folk tales of old. Fans of ancient yarns and fire side stories of man vs monster will surely get a kick out of this atmospheric and action packed tale.” 102
