THE RULERS OF THE ISLANDS

THE RULERS OF THE ISLANDS
By Corey Hood

GENRE: Period Piece, Science Fiction, Biopic / True Story
LOGLINE:

The Ascended Master St. Germain refuses to realize himself as Shakespeare, while the immortal Gods of the Pacific manifest all the way to London and E.T.s from Lyra return to save the Earth in Honolulu, The Meeting Place.

Length: 84 pages (with ten montages) (to summarize historical violence)

Genre: Soft, grounded sci-fi.

Comps on: Dan Millman's The Way Of The Peaceful Warrior meets What The Bleep Do We Know and The Matrix.

Why I chose the idea: To discover what makes Hawai'i paradise yet Hollywood unable to perform here.

We meet, in trance channeling as a plot device, main character Corey Melchizedek, 30s, tall, disarming, Hawai'ian history buff, sci-fi writer, cryptozoologist, Earth ambassador. Occasional temp worker in search of a dream job in the biz who expects society to adapt to universal realities without him having to conform to it.

Corey teams up with like-minded others on a journey to unveil the unknown. The worst of them better than the typical person though they might be living on the edge of survival. The values of seekers of truth rarely conform to society's, set largely on hedonistic pursuits, idol-worship or competition over materialistic goals.

Through Corey's higher self in self-hypnosis sessions, The Bard himself re-enters, the Ascended Master St. Germain, author of the works literally given to William Shakespeare--himself merely the money man behind a London acting troupe who agrees to take them as payment of outstanding bills to forestall its pending insolvency, as their author.

The A.M. St. Germain clears up, in his own immortal words, "a myth that persists about me to this day (five centuries later)."

"I'm remaking my stage plays, poems and sonnets to restore them to their originals, formerly attributed to the narcissist William Shakespeare, in Honolulu."

The A.M. St. Germain reveals his role as master leader of the United States who inspires its founding fathers.

We meet the True Original Native Hawai'ians, ascended masters who rule the Pacific Islands, literally millions of years old in their enchantment of this place.

Masters of the art of talk-story, they critique limitations in 3-Act Structure that derive from the worship of false gods incarnating in ancient Greece. Rather than options proliferating in the Second Act, these narrow, leading inevitably to the death of advanced forms of life like them by the Third Act.

Hero, tragic antihero, Captain Cook's fate bound up with that of the first King Kamehameha. Whom he arms and thereby enables to wreck the Aloha Spirit for generations. Else King Kam I's rule of the Islands might remain a mere historical footnote.

Cook blunders into Tahiti. A base for Havai'ians nearby to enslave the Island they name after them Hawai'i, then march on Oahu to end the incarnations of the original Hawai'ians.

Corey Melchizedek pitches and sells this story never told in modern times that extends the Aloha welcome to filmmakers, at his local watering hole to Enoch Metatron, 50s, well-known veteran L.A. studio exec.

Why now:

Set in Honolulu with magic, mysticism and an oral storytelling tradition in search of a tech update into film and media to rediscover itself in the eyes of the visitors it attracts through the Aloha Spirit or those it can reach by extension of its peace, forgiveness and love into a war-torn world.

Present-day themes: war, immigration, disenfranchisement, disempowerment, collapse in society, its values.

SYNOPSIS:

Space adventurers found a colony on Hawaii in its distant pre-history. Island neighbors invade, then others. All on it must turn Hawaiian... or perish.

Conceptual hook: warlike antagonists submit to the love spell of this place. Protagonists emerge to protect the Islands. An historical rewrite to illuminate the otherwise hidden labors of our unsung heroes, the true original native Hawaiians.

It's love that rules here.

Twist End: A flamboyant local sci-fi writer under hypnosis reveals his ancient hosts alone determine who rules Hawaii to this day. These enlightened, ascended masters based here reveal their story for the first time, upon Captain Cook's return to land on the Big Island:

"Thus begins the end of our Hawaii."

Cook plunders the Island during the festival of Lono, God of Peace. The true original native Hawaiians disable a boat that forces its repair into the start of the war season. Cook enables the rise of King Kamehameha. These victors who lack scruples ensure that that generation "becomes of no use to us."

"There are many imaginary or manic characters that would overrun the Islands if we were not responsible. We keep them all in training. But if you extend Aloha Spirit through the world, we will ensure Earth will make it."

Ancient space colonizers stay invisible to modern-day resident savages, enlist the help of filmmakers like Corey to re-imagine history to save us from ourselves, thereby to complete their assignment here. They have three more worlds to rescue.

Main Character, Captain James Cook:

"I love all these Pacific people in my third voyage. At my peak. The toast of the British Empire. Its hero. Its hope. Its anti-hero. Waves of emigration ensue. I am the happiest in the whole world then.

"I should avoid Tahiti at all costs, under a kapu against contact due to its enslavement, genocide of the true original native Hawaiians. Allied with King Kamehameha, my nemesis.

"No chaplain aboard. I am a god, instead."
