THE MOVIE
A FICTIONAL STORY
AND SCREENPLAY
WRITTEN BY
ADRIANA RUBIO
& JOHN BRANDON
As a music journalist-writer myself I witnessed the
rise and fall of many artists over the years. They’ve inspired me to create “Leland
Campbell”, a fictional character that everyone would love to be real. During
the creation process and story development I counted with the support of
Director John Brandon. We really enjoyed writing together “Leland”, a story that
touched our hearts deeply, a story we want to share with you all.
Logline: “The mystery of
Rock Star Leland Campbell’s Red Door Artwork becomes the number one assignment
for St. Louis Sun newspaper writer Andrea Marchi”.

Synopsis: “A local
newspaper writer Andrea Marchi follows Leland Campbell’s musical career on his
way to fame and fortune as the lead singer for the rock band Sun King. During
the journey Andrea witnesses the craziness of a rock tour, and discovers that
Leland is also a very talented painter artist. She encounters all sorts of
strange stories and speculation surrounding one of Leland’s famous paintings
which opens all Sun King concerts in a video board: A Red Door”.

“Leland” is a unique film. It
presents itself as the chronicle behind the newspaper story of a topic that
doesn't seem to be taken very seriously by its readers all that often: The life of a Rock Star.
Journalist character, Andrea Marchi digs in and discovers Leland Campbell is much deeper than a superficial Rock Star. She finds he is a talented human being who
tries to light his own darkness in life with art and beauty, in the form of
powerful music and paintings.
Leland is famous for his
great music and commanding voice but also gets recognition as a credible artist
because of a Red Door painting, a prop that stands out in all his
music videos and concert appearances.
But as Andrea realizes, the Red Door is so much more than
just a prop, it's the key to a deep, dark secret… What is the Red Door
really all about?
Film Break Actor Matt Harrison brings Leland
Campbell to life. Actress Cara
Mastrey of Tawn Mastrey Foundation plays the role of Leland’s girlfriend Deborah Hanson. Soundtrack by Divine Sorrow
