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
Brad Pitt as Chad??
Chad is a Rastafarian-turned-business man who has a secret sinister side.
He is a close friend of Destiny's and has been part of all her charitable work including the orphanage in Africa, the housing initiative for people living at Woodwards and for the latter Relocation to Recovery project for women.
He is there for Destiny, but his secret eventually catches up with them and jeopardizes every effort she has ever made including the life of her child!
...Wouldn’t it be great to see Brad Pitt team up with Edward Norton again?? We all loved them in Fight Club! Am I right?!! -- I am so right!
Brad Pitt is an incredible person, actor and producer. He would be a wonderful pick for the notorious character of Chad in this film.
We've considered that Brad Pitt would enjoy being involved in this film production because Pitt loves people. He has proven his devotion to the homeless with his extensive and compassionate efforts rebuilding New Orleans - after Hurricane Katrina ousted 1000s of innocent citizens and families from their homes.
Ghosts of Woodwards points the camera [and our hearts] toward the gritty reality faced by persons living in extreme poverty here in North America. Brad Pitt's anticipated involvement in this film will show once again that he is a man who cares for everyday people!
