ABOUT THE PROJECT
Danielle Karagannis, an LA-based screenwriter and director, is an alum of several Stowe Story Labs programs, including the annual fall Narrative Lab, the EFM/Berlinale experience, and the ongoing mentorship program, where she worked with seasoned Creative Producer and Stowe Story Labs Mentor Paul Miller.
Her newest project is Ground Control, a live-action, psychological drama that's an interpretation of David Bowie's character Major Tom. Envision 2001: A Space Odyssey crashing into Requiem for a Dream. In a world where drugs are entirely shunned, an astronaut named Major Tom is assigned to export an exuberant number of drugs out of America and into space. Through Ground Control, we're taken on a visual and emotive, intense, poetic ride that's unapologetic to truth, reality, and possesses an external layer of satire. Stowe Story Labs was proud to support Danielle’s short/proof of concept project to help her prepare for the feature version of this story.
Stowe Story Labs alumni can initiate an application for fiscal agency here.
