Welcome to Nova Entertainment

Hi! I'm Jacob Starr and Nova Entertainment is a production company created for the development of projects in the Cinema, Music and Fine Arts.

Double Destiny

Synopsis of story: The year is 1993 and the U.S. Defense Dept. Black ops division has discovered a devastating nuclear weapon forgotten after the fall of the Soviet Union. Dr. Simon Hazlett, a nano technologies expert as well as weapons developer inadvertantly triggers the device. In an effort to abort the project, he downloads a failsafe code onto a nano chip and surgically inserts it in the brain of one of his newborn identical twin daughters. Flash forward to 2011. General Arden Foyer has been looking for Dr. Hazlett's twin daughters for 18 years to assure that the bomb detonates on schedule, December 20th, 2011. The CIA is also involved as well as Syrian terrorists, everyone trying to chase down these two coeds who hold the key to stopping the device from goimg off.

History of Movie projects

My current project, "Double Destiny" is a feature length screenplay I've been working on for about 13 years. I'm attempting to raise the funds to begin filming a theatrical trailer for the movie. This is a very ambitious action/adventure film, with identical twin, 18 year old girls as the main protagonists. It boils down to a cross-country chase film involving the U.S. Army, the CIA and Syrian terrorists as the main players, all trying to get their hands on Marilyn and Molly Hazlett. These sisters unknowingly hold the key to stopping a devastating nuclear disaster and there are many twists and turns as well as a positive message. I must give credit to my collaborator, Bruce W. Durbin for invaluable assistance bringing this project to completion, truly a gifted screenwriter.

Native

This is an alternate reality story centered around the North American Indian tribes around the time of Custer's last stand (1876). Running Bear, chief of the Lakota Sioux, has a vision from the Great Spirit. If he follows it exactly and without deviation, the future of his people and all indigenous peoples is assured. It involves uniting all remaining North American tribes in an unprecedented strategy that is bold as it is risky. The lives of all Native Americans and the future of the land called "America" is the reward for success and total annihilation is the result of failure. It is an action/adventure story featuring Native Americans as the focus with a cast of 1000's and beautiful locations, realistic battle sequences, surprise allies, traitors and even the Queen of England! This story shows Native Americans in a positive light as they fight for the land that the Great Spirit gave them thousands of years ago. The warrior spirit and culture of compassion, emotion and sensitivity towards the land is the real star of this expansive and unique script.

History of Movie projects

I've recently completed the screenplay, "Native" and am actively seeking support among the Native American tribes, specifically the Sioux of South Dakota. I think this story needs to be told and I'm pleased with the results that myself and collaborator Bruce W. Durbin have acheived. I plan on using as many Native Americans as possible in the production and invite interested investors to contact me directly.

State's Evidence

This screenplay is a "noir" detective thriller featuring Dick Samuels and his slightly green forensics assistant Samantha Eggers. The action takes place amidst the underworld culture of New Jersey as top level NJ casino control management conspires with mob figures. The prize is $500,000,000 in embezzled funds. Follow the trail of dead bodies to collect the prize. Thrown into the mix is Patricia Sexton, executive assistant to Sinclair Davis, who gets involved before realizing what exactly is at stake and then must risk everything to stay one step ahead of the mob and the police. The Caman Islands also figure in the plot and the action is non-stop in this exciting project. This is the third script that I've collaborated with Bruce W. Durbin on and the results are fantastic!
