YOUR GRACE

(Formerly: Queen B)

A Motion Picture Project

Chateau Film, in partnership with Dog Pond Productions, is developing Your Grace, an independent feature starring Academy Award nominee William H. Macy, supported by a dynamic ensemble of talent both on and off screen.

Set against the backdrop of the late 1970s, Your Grace juxtaposes the gritty vibrancy of Los Angeles with the timeless elegance of the French countryside. Principal photography will take place in France, taking full advantage of the country’s generous tax rebate program, with additional key scenes shot in Los Angeles.

This dark dramedy blends high production values with a lean $5 million budget, designed to maximize creative impact and deliver compelling returns on investment. The following overview delves into the film’s concept, narrative, and visual aesthetic, while spotlighting the exceptional creative team and cast driving the project.

A love letter to cinema, Your Grace pays homage to the golden age of American B-movies while channeling the daring innovation of the French New Wave. This coming-of-age love story follows two young adults thrust into adulthood too soon, with subtle nods to the adventurous resilience of Huckleberry Finn and the fervent passion of Romeo and Juliet. Through its narrative, the film celebrates the fleeting beauty of life, the transformative power of artistic expression, and the profound awakening of self-discovery.

In 1979, as Hollywood's B-movie industry teeters on the edge of collapse, a shady producer (William H. Macy) dispatches his reluctant grandson to a medieval château in France to rescue a disastrous film production. Amid clashes with the film's volatile young starlet, the mission unravels into a dangerous odyssey of secrets, intrigue, and unexpected transformation.

Main Characters

Finn Atwood

Finn Atwood (20s), the male lead, works as an executive assistant to his grandfather, Harold, at his struggling B-movie studio in 1970s Hollywood. Alongside his role at the company, Finn is a budding writer crafting a book on B-movies, with his notebook entries providing narration throughout the film. As he monitors his grandfather’s cash-funded (and mafia-linked) film projects, Finn must navigate dangerous and uncharted waters. The story delves into the chaos that ensues when things go wrong and challenges Finn to steer a perilous production back on course before it’s too late.

Mia Taylor

Mia Taylor (20s), the female lead, is both a formidable talent and deeply vulnerable. Once a celebrated child actress who received an Oscar nomination by age 20, Mia's career has since faltered. The pressures of Hollywood fame led her into a destructive spiral of drug and alcohol addiction, tarnishing her reputation. Now in her mid-20s, after several rehab attempts, Mia finds herself drifting into the world of B-movies as the industry itself collapses. Her pride and ongoing struggles have caused her current film project to derail, putting more than just her career at risk.

Harold Atwood

Harold Atwood (80s) is a cranky yet endearing executive producer who came up during the B-movie boom in the 40s and 50s, hitting a high point with his 1965 sci-fi thriller, Purple Space Monkey. With the industry now in decline, Harold has turned to laundering mafia money through his productions to keep his business afloat. When a film project goes off the rails, he sends his young grandson, Finn, to France to sort things out. While Finn makes some headway, the situation spirals out of control back home, and Harold’s increasingly poor choices begin to haunt him and everyone in his orbit.

Dominic Greco

Dominic Greco (50/60s), a cold-hearted killer with a chronic sinus allergy (and a soft spot for cats), has been deeply entrenched in the American Mafia for most of his life. Although his rank within the organization is unclear, it’s evident that he handles laundering his associates' money through various business ventures. Believing B-movies to be a secure investment, Dominic has been backing Harold’s films for a decade without issue. However, as public interest in B-movies declines, Dominic seeks reassurance from Harold, who opts to deceive him. This risky decision leads to severe consequences.

Miles Bloom

Miles Bloom (20s), Harold’s nerdy yet cool first executive assistant, is passionate about B-movies but struggles with professionalism and reliability. His reluctance to inform Harold about a runaway production in France leads to escalating chaos. Consequently, Harold is forced to send his younger and less experienced grandson, Finn, to address the mess and somehow right the ship. When Harold sends the anxious Miles to deliver a critical message to Dominic, their mafia investor, it sets off a chain of events that spirals all of their lives into turmoil. But his heart’s in the right place… sort of.

Wrangler Bowls

Wrangler Bowls, a pot-smoking Reggae enthusiast and veteran assistant director, has managed B-movie productions for years and thinks he’s seen it all. Yet, nothing could prepare him for the challenge of dealing with Mia Taylor. Despite his best efforts to rein in the defiant starlet and get the runaway production back on track, Wrangler’s attempts have been in vain. With no clear solution in sight, he and his crew have largely given up, waiting for any intervention. As a reliable mediator, Wrangler offers Finn advice on handling Mia, but there are limits to what he can do.

Principal Locations

Your Grace is predominantly set in a medieval French château, which will serve as the backdrop for an American B-movie within the film. The production will feature three stunning châteaux from the Loire Valley in western France: Château du Lude, Château de Brissac, and Château de la Flocellière — all pictured below. Also pictured are the stunning wine caves at the Schramsberg and Del Dotto wineries in Napa Valley, CA — both excellent options for the wine cave location should production take place primarily in California.

These visually striking locations will greatly enhance the film's production value. The châteaux, featuring exquisite antique furniture and artwork that date back centuries, provide a timeless aesthetic that perfectly complements the 1970s setting. This not only minimizes the need for additional set dressing but also saves both time and costs.

Moreover, the French government offers a tax rebate of 30% for international productions. This support will significantly stretch the film’s budget, allowing for a higher quality production. While France is the optimal location for principal photography, California has beautiful chateaux as well, and remains a viable option should Your Grace be awarded the coveted CA tax credits.

Look and Feel

Your Grace will be filmed with the sensibilities of a European or arthouse drama while appealing to a mainstream audience. The châteaux, with their tall windows, along with numerous exterior scenes, will allow for extensive use of natural daylight, imparting a cooler, bluish tone during the day. At night, the abundant source lighting—chandeliers, lanterns, and candles—will create a warmer ambiance, potentially reducing the need for additional movie lights. Darkness and shadows will be embraced to enhance the film's atmosphere.

The acting will be naturalistic and understated, complementing a cinematographic style that blends various techniques, from obscure and lofty to handheld. Some scenes will capture a cinéma vérité feel, while others will employ a smoother, more fluid style, particularly those representing the point of view of the castle’s deceased former owners, whose spirits linger in a benign presence.

The European shooting locations are grand and visually captivating, yet few in number and in close proximity to one another. This will enable a streamlined production schedule while upholding high production values, all within the constraints of Your Grace's modest budget.

Comparable Films

Your Grace shares thematic elements with several recent films featuring young leads in complex, often forbidden relationships. Like Your Grace, Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name showcases young Americans in Europe, infused with an arthouse sensibility. Céline Sciamma’s brilliant Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a French period piece that delves into themes of forbidden love and the nature of artistic creation. Additionally, Licorice Pizza, directed by P.T. Anderson, captures a 1970s aesthetic and grit that resonate with Your Grace. Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch celebrates youthful ambition and creativity against a European backdrop, further enhancing its appeal to fans of heartfelt narratives.

All of these critically acclaimed films have achieved strong box office and streaming success, demonstrating the widespread appeal of nuanced, boundary-pushing stories led by young protagonists.

Brief Synopsis

On April 5, 1979, the bankruptcy of Allied Artists marked a significant turning point in the history of B-movie production. Once a giant in the realm of low-budget films, Allied Artists' collapse symbolized the waning power of independent studios as major Hollywood players took control of film distribution.

This historical backdrop provides the perfect setting for Your Grace, a darkly comedic drama that uses a film’s derailed production to metaphorically reflect the broader decline of the B-movie industry. The film not only delves into the gritty world of low-budget filmmaking but also explores the emotional and creative turmoil behind a fading era of Hollywood.

Act One

The story begins with Finn Atwood, a young, ambitious assistant at a struggling B-movie production company in Hollywood. When a horror film the company is financing takes a disastrous turn, Finn is tasked by his cantankerous 86-year-old boss and grandfather, Harold, to salvage the project. At Harold’s insistence, Finn reluctantly travels to a centuries-old chateau in the picturesque Loire Valley of France, where the troubled production is being shot. What starts as a business trip soon spirals into a journey of discovery, where Finn finds himself uncovering both the château’s hidden secrets and profound insights about his own life—leading to unexpected lessons and encounters that change him forever.

Act Two

Upon arrival, Finn finds that the lead actress, Mia Taylor, is the root of the problem. Once a celebrated A-list star, Mia has fallen from grace due to her abrasive behavior and substance abuse. Despite Finn's attempts to manage her, Mia's disdain for the poorly written script and her talentless co-star leads her to frequently abandon the set, straining the production financially. To make matters worse, the film’s director, Jesse, has disappeared, along with $40K in cash from the budget.

Finn moves into the château despite Mia's objections, and their interactions soon uncover the castle's eerie charm. Mia discovers Finn's journal detailing his fascination with B-movies and their influence on his life and society as a whole. As she begins to understand him, she opens up about her own struggles, including her disillusionment with early fame and the loss of her mother at a young age. Having lost his parents at age twelve, Finn starts to relate to Mia, and a bond begins to form between them.

A key, mysteriously placed on Finn’s pillow — a possible offering from the unseen spirits of the chateau — leads him to a hidden wine cave on the estate. As he steps inside, the vast space reveals itself, illuminated by elegant, dust-covered chandeliers. Rows of ancient wine barrels stretch into the darkness, and towering shelves display hundreds of unopened bottles, some dating back centuries. Feeling an inexplicable sense of welcome, Finn selects two bottles before heading back to the chateau.

As the production falters, the L.A. Mafia, which has been laundering money through Harold's films, begins to take notice. Dominic, the mob’s enforcer, tracks down Jesse and confronts him, resulting in a violent encounter that leaves both Jesse and his girlfriend dead, while Dominic is severely injured. Harold, who had previously convinced Dominic to finance a sequel to his biggest hit, Purple Space Monkey, foolishly decides to divert some of the funds intended for the sequel. He sends Miles to France with $200K in cash to help cover the overages on their runaway horror film.

Impressed by Finn's writing, Mia persuades him to rewrite several scenes in the failing horror script. The revised scenes soon begin to invigorate the production. Unfortunately, back in L.A., an angry and wounded Dominic learns of Harold's deceit and misuse of mob money, setting the stage for revenge.

Act Three

Mia invites Finn to dinner at the château, where they share personal secrets, along with another bottle of incredible wine. Mia reveals she has sensed the presence of the spirits of a murdered elderly French couple - the previous owners of the château. Finn admits to similar experiences, referencing the wine cave. They visit the couple’s graves by the pond, discussing the fleeting nature of life. Finn confesses his budding feelings for Mia, and they share a romantic moment as a French New Wave film flickers off the château walls.

Unbeknownst to them, Dominic, still hunting for the mob’s missing money, has followed a dark path to France after a violent run-in with Harold. In the depths of the wine cave, Dominic’s thirst for vengeance will come to a head, threatening to unravel Finn and Mia’s fate. But there may be forces beyond the living at play. As the malevolent tension builds, the spirits that once offered Finn a gift may yet intervene. After all, showing kindness to others — whether they dwell among the living or the dead — sometimes comes with unexpected rewards.

THE SHORT

Your Grace is loosely based an independent TV pilot titled Trouble, written, produced, and directed by DIVA creator Sean Skelton. The 20-minute pilot, designed primarily for the television festival circuit, was shot in just three days on a shoestring budget of $10,000.

Despite its limitations, Trouble earned several accolades, including Best TV Drama at the Independent Television Festival and Best Writing at the New York Television Festival - the two largest TV festivals. While DIVA draws inspiration from Trouble through its lead character, the story takes an entirely new direction. With significantly higher production value and an all-star cast, the feature is poised to elevate the narrative to new cinematic heights.
