Ghosts of Woodwards is inspired by a true historical event in Vancouver Canada in 2002; Woodsquat: Tent-City. At this time over 300 homeless persons and political activists illegally occupied three city blocks of downtown Vancouver for 92 days. This was the longest camp protest ever recorded in North America.
This suspense/drama begins at the Woodwards Tent-City occupation and follows Woodsquat, its aftermath and the lives of two fictitious characters: Destiny Calling and Rattlesnake Chief Feather.
Destiny is a humanitarian interested in helping people get off the streets. She is taken for millions leaving her virtually penniless and needing to piece together her own life. more
Rattlesnake is an indigenous man, homeless by choice - for the sake of the cause, who drifts in character from a man seeking emancipation for his people to a drug & lust-driven extortionist. more
Jennifer Aniston as Destiny
Destiny is a humanitarian interested in helping people get off the streets and find new lives. With investors and a network of resources backing her, she sets out to do just that, but is taken for all the money in her charitable account by a corrupt bank manager and a couple unlikely accomplices.
Destiny continues in work for the cause of housing the homeless in the downtown eastside, only to be betrayed by the persons she is trying to help. This leaves her virtually penniless (and pregnant) and needing to piece together her own broken life.
Heartbroken, Destiny tackles her conflicts and overcomes them through the help of some good people on Sacred Island. Later she is given a new chance to assist destitute women rebuild their lives, but as some old players from Woodwards resurface, she faces the risk of losing it all again. Only this time the wager is her money and her small child.
We would like to attach Jennifer Aniston to Ghosts of Woodwards for the part of Destiny Calling.
Jennifer Aniston is great for this role because she is grounded and is establishing new heights of maturity throughout her career and life experiences. She has the right look for the part and she has demonstrated a proven determination to make a difference in the lives of less fortunate people with her involvement in various non-profit organizations.
Jennifer is musically inclined and Destiny is a musician. We would like the opportunity to present the dynamic role to Ms. Aniston which would require our beautiful star to learn to play the djembe! - a welcome challenge for Ms. Aniston?
Ghosts of Woodwards is shocking and impacting, but also uplifting and hope-driven.
