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
Zac Efron as Roger

Roger is a friend of Rattlesnake. He is a pothead activist hanging out at Woodwards whose addictions begin as "fun" but quickly evolve to harder street drugs. His lifestyle is destructive and eventually Roger faces a tragic end.
Oxygen would like to attach Zac Efron for this smaller supportive role. Roger's character and lifestyle is somewhat hardcore and is contraversial compared to the nice-guy, upstanding characters Zac has portrayed in his career.
We believe, even though this is a smaller role, the part would catapult Zac into a full new arena of work opportunities for the future.
We believe Zac Efron has the talent and the tenacity to pull it off.
