Overview

In the early 21st century as much of the world looks on in awe, a scientific miracle called LiDAR reveals amazing images showing the extent of a vast ancient civilization. A civilization easily the equal of ancient Greece or Rome. In the Maya Lowlands of Central America ancient buildings cover the whole face of the land, the great cities, the highways and massive fortifications preserved and hidden under tropical rain forests. What of their great heroes, and their despicable villains, the mighty kings, the intrigues and treachery, their wars and their gods? Is it not time for their history to be told? Does not the world's most controversial and fascinating sacred record bring us their history? Is this not the civilization described for us in minute detail nearly 200 years ago within the pages of the remarkable Book of Mormon? Across the Central Lowlands in the year 92BC a fledgling democracy was established, within 18 years the freedoms secured were under dire threat. Kings and would be kings amassed armies. Armed conflict and valiant men would determine the outcome. The war chapters had begun. This is the story of one of the Book of Mormon's greatest warriors.

"The book, 'TEANCUM an illustrated screenplay', only differs from the screenplay in slight, non-industry format and font and has the addition of illustrations. Hollywood readers liken the screenplay to 'Braveheart', 'Last of the Mohicans', and 'Gladiator'. The screenplay has been a finalist in numerous screenplay competitions in Hollywood and one in Mexico. The following are comments from various Hollywood screenplay competitions regarding the story and it's suitability for cinema: ""Epic action-adventure in every sense of the phrase."" ""Historical action/adventure TEANCUM is loaded with big visuals and energy and the size and scope of the material, while prohibitive to many producers, is actually the thing that will make it most appealing to broad audiences. The writer has done a great job of loading the script with imagery and adrenaline while simultaneously giving us some strong characters in Teancum and Tamar."" (Coverage Inc.) ""TEANCUM - As far as heroes go, it doesn't come any better than the Mormon TEANCUM."" (WeScreenplay.) ""The script starts off well with an exciting battle sequence. In fact, your action scenes are generally timed perfectly and they appear at just the right intervals. They are thrilling and action-packed and definitely the highpoints of the screenplay. The violence of these sequences doesn't feel exploitative either, but rather an important aspect of the storytelling.""(ISA Fast Track Fellowship) ""The strict hierarchy that seems to govern your world has the potential to be fascinating.'"" (Page Awards) ""I like the scope and scale of this screenplay. It captures the essence of the Golden Age Hollywood Biblical epics, from the grandeur of the ancient settings, meticulously detailed wardrobe, large battle sequences--even the way dialogue is constructed screams epic."" (Fresh Voices) ""This is an action packed story with a unique setting. The main characters are very good. Your historical and period details feel authentic and accurate and it does seem like you did a fair share of research when preparing to write this. There's definitely a market for this story. The Mormon tradition has not been mined for big screen stories. It is new. It is exotic to a lot of people. Done right this film could have mass appeal outside of Mormons."" (World Series of Screenwriting.) ""As currently constructed, the structure of this piece is set up well. There is a clear inciting action early on, and the intensity of the story never really dissipates at any point."" ""This script is an interesting one. It tells an action-packed story that has a lot of potential. The story has clear commercial appeal given the reality that war is always compelling."" ""TEANCUM is a really compelling read. The story is captivating as currently constructed and can only get better from here on. With a couple of tweaks here and there, this story could easily grow into a truly one of a kind tale.""
