SYNOPSIS:

Philly Paramedic, Jordan Ames, grew-up in an orphanage with two ghost-kids from the 80's as his best friends. Determined to help them reunite with their parents in the afterlife, Jordan uses the prototype ghost-tech he's built but accidentally leads them into the grip of an escaped Demon, (possessing a Doctor), who needs their souls, and many more, to buy his permanent freedom from the underworld.

Desperate to rescue the ghost-kids before it's too late, Jordan reveals his ghost-tech to friend, Detective Lexi Burke so she can help find the Demon-Doctor.

Jordan battles the Demon-Doctor, rescues the ghost-kids, but is fatally injured. Before the Demon-Doctor escapes, and as Jordan takes his last breath in Lexi’s arms, the Demon Doctor vows revenge by promising to unleash the demon apocalypse.

Lexi uses the ghost-tech and sees Jordan's ghost emerge. Jordan is met by the spirit of the Mother he never knew. She's an Angel who fell in love and became mortal. Jordan is a Nephilim - the son of an Angel, even as a ghost he has incredible abilities. He just needs to learn to use them. Jordan's got one last chance to stop the Demon-Doctor from collecting and using the souls of a new group of children to unleash the apocalypse.

To defeat the Demon-Doctor once-and-for-all Jordan must find the last existing Guardian Sword, locked away within the Cathedral of St. Peter’s Secret Library. With Lexi's help Jordan locates the sword, extracts the phantom sword within, then finds the Demon Doctor.

Jordan wields the phantom sword in an epic battle against the Demon-Doctor and ultimately delivers the Demon back to the underworld.

Jordan’s ghost is restored to human form as a Soul Guardian.

Together, Jordan and Lexi are responsible for safeguarding lost souls from demonic harm, helping them resolve unfinished business, and guiding them into the light.

INSPIRATION - More than ever the world needs big-hearted heroes like real-life Philly Paramedic,

Lawrence Amaker, (2017 Paramedic of the Year, Philadelphia), who reminds me a lot of Actor,

Sam Richardson. Lawrence took me on a ride-along to the locations of his most haunting experiences. He quietly shared his wish that he could’ve somehow helped all the kids who couldn't be saved.

I went looking for a ghost story, and I found the hero who inspired: THE PARAMEDIC.

Schemers Entertainment, Manager, David Binns, wrote: “I enjoy a good Amblin-esque, GHOSTBUSTERS-style, horror feature. THE PARAMEDIC is a great representation of your voice, while also showing your cross-genre range.”

THE PARAMEDIC Won 2nd Place Best Screenplay, at Screamfest LA. (as THE SERAPHIM) in 2005. Screamfest LA was co-founded by Producer, Rachel Belofsky and the legendary Stan Winston. Stan pulled me aside and excitedly made me promise to let Industrial Light and Magic design and create the supernatural investigation gadgets and special effects.

Quarterfinalist, ScreenCraft Sci-Fi & Fantasy Screenwriting Competition 2021 (TUTTLESON'S GHOSTS)

WHY ME - Growing-up just outside of Philadelphia, I needed my wild imagination to create fun & mayhem. It got me into a lot of trouble though, like that time, when I was 10 and I stole my parents' car to take my little sister for ice-cream. (we made it as far as the neighbor’s front yard); or when I launched myself down a steep, busy street in a plywood go-kart I'd built with no brakes; or, after setting out on my own at 17, my two summers as an amateur stock car driver.

Life’s misadventures, and years of being told what’s out of my reach, led me to discover my brand: Heartfelt Dramedy, for Features and Series, about misfits struggling to become who they were always meant to be.

I've been lucky to study with Blake Snyder, Jen Grisanti, Jessica Bendinger, and now the wonderful Holiday RomCom Writer, Carley Smale.

I was the Lead Graphic Designer for several wonderful feature films including two Academy Award Winners. I fell in love with storytelling, started screenwriting, won Top Ten and Cinestory and lunch with Christopher McQuarrie. Won 2nd Place and Top Five Best Screenplay at ScreamfestLA, and became an Amazon Studios Best Screenplay Competition Semi-Finalist. Was short-listed in both the NBC and ABC TV Writers Showcases. And so much more...
