Windigo
Canadian Mountie Jack McGregor is sent to arrest native hunter Isaac Wolf for murder. But Isaac is no ordinary killer: to save his hungry family, he has sold his soul to the evil Windigo, and now sees other people as animals to hunt and eat. As McGregor is drawn into Isaac’s world of spirits, he must confront both a corrupt court system and the demons from his own past before deciding where justice truly lies. (Optioned twice)
Tam Lin
Tam Lin is a modern take on a classic Scottish fairy tale. Janet Logan is stuck and miserable, nursing her depressed father in a remote Scottish village.

After she gives Tam back his memory, Janet must risk everything to break the Queen’s spell and bring him back to the world.

In the fiery climax, Donny redeems himself and becomes the hero he pretended to be.
