For the industry

Rights up front, a direct email on every sheet

For producers, programmers, distributors and anyone else looking for new independent work. Each sheet opens with the project and its rights, and its email button writes straight to the filmmaker or writer.

A listing, not a selection

A sheet here is an optional listing service, separate from the festival's competition. It is not a selection, a nomination or an award, and it has no effect on jury review: a project entered in a competition category is judged by the same jury, under the same criteria, as every other entry.

Each sheet is written from the filmmaker's or writer's own answers.

Story and who made it

Story or subject

The story follows Rebecca, a young ceramic artist who falls into a coma after a serious car accident in Paris. As doctors fight to keep her alive, the physical world begins to dissolve around her. Suspended between life and death, Rebecca’s consciousness drifts into a space between existence and nothingness. On this inner journey, she relives real memories from her past while confronting the present and the possibilities of imagined futures that were never lived. The film’s narrative is built upon Albert Einstein’s famous scientific proposition that the distinction between past, present and future is merely a stubbornly persistent illusion. Through visual poetry and a non-linear narrative structure, Peter Korday’s direction brings this inner, transcendent pilgrimage to the screen.

Who made it

Soft Floating in the Fields of Spheres marks the feature debut of Paris-based French-Hungarian filmmaker Peter Korday, whose work is defined by visual storytelling, poetic minimalism and non-linear narrative. Korday previously directed theatre in Los Angeles and several award-winning short films, including The Necklace, and is currently developing a new psychological drama set in Paris. The film was written by Kristina Lorent, who also stars as Rebecca and co-produced the film with Korday through Gold Wood Pictures. Lorent is a Paris-based French-Hungarian actress whose work spans both the American and European film worlds.

Plot, shoot and writer

The whole plot

VICTORIA THE FIRST ACT I -- The Burning Girl -- As part of her father Buck's plot to collect insurance money, 10-year-old Victoria sets the fire that burns down a small Ohio town's only grist mill. At age 15, she is pimped out by Buck and sold into marriage to drunkard, Dr. Canning Woodhull. She dumps Canning and assumes the lead of her clan of grifters. She tires of the games, and believing she is destined to be a great leader, she drags her family, now including her second husband Col. James Blood, to New York. ACT II --The Bewitching Brokers -- Within two years, Victoria and her gorgeous younger sister Tennie, have conquered the city. They enchant Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, a fellow Spiritualist and the richest man in the world. They make a fortune following his advice in a time of panic, and he sets them up as Wall Street's first female stockbrokers. She parlays her fame into becoming the first woman to address Congress, then declares as the first woman to run for President and vaults to the forefront of the Suffrage Movement. ACT III -- Mrs. Satan -- A family feud exposes Victoria's past. Backers pull away. Her nemesis, the renowned author Harriet Beecher Stowe, leads a vicious campaign to destroy her. Victoria loses most of her fortune and is evicted. She plays her last trump card by using her newspaper to reveal the affair that Harriet's brother, the eminent clergyman Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, is conducting with a female congregant. Victoria, Tennie, and Blood are thrown into jail. The denouement comes when Victoria must come in disguise to make a speech promoted as "The Naked Truth". After denouncing the moral hypocrites of her times, she is arrested again. In a chyron, the audience learns that Victoria and Tennie accepted a huge bribe from the Vanderbilt heirs to leave the country for England, where she lived the long remainder of her life.

What it takes to shoot

Lead role -- Victoria Woodhull, the girl grifter who sought to lead the nation. Featured roles -- Tennie Claflin, Victoria's carefree, witty younger sister; Col. James Blood, Victoria's second husband and the closest she ever came to a romantic love; Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, Victoria's mentor and Tennie's suitor; Harriet Beecher Stowe, Victoria's jealous, spiteful antagonist; Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Harriet's brother, the pre-eminent clergyman of his time, and an avid skirt-chaser. Locations -- small towns and cities on the American frontier; the second two acts are set in New York at the dawn of the Gilded Age. There are five major speech scenes, with crowded audiences, and a scene of a mill being burnt down.

Who wrote it

I was a newspaper writer for nearly 40 years, working for 11 newspapers and reporting from nearly all the U.S. and a dozen foreign nations. I have written two non-fiction books, "Ungodly", the story of a Black cult, led by a predatory monster who transplanted the group from Brooklyn to rural Georgia; and "Guilty By Popular Demand", the story of how a small town cheered, when an innocent man was convicted of a savage double murder but stayed silent when the real killer confessed 25 years later. An earlier version of VICTORIA THE FIRST was named a quarterfinalist in the 2023 Nicholl Screenplay Competition. I have completed 12 other scripts. I live in the metro Atlanta area.
