1. FIREWORKS INTERNATIONAL PRESENTS:
AN ELECTRIC FARM ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCTION

2. 360 DEGREE EXPERIENCE
Fireworks International and Electric Farm Entertainment’s (EFE) latest format,
VALEMONT, is an unprecedented 360° series.
Comprised of content that can play out on linear TV, online, VOD and mobile, we
provide an unparalleled opportunity to deliver ENGAGING and truly cross-platform
entertainment.
By integrating every platform and screen as central components of the VALEMONT
world, the show will deliver the kind of storytelling and engagement that audiences
crave and expect.
VALEMONT is entertainment at its most INNOVATIVE and can roll out in long form
as traditional ‘TV’ content or across multiple platforms as a short form series.

3. THE VALEMONT STORY
Imagine being young, beautiful and the future of the world, these are the kids who go to
VALEMONT University, an exclusive, historic and secretive college in rural Massachusetts from
where some of the world’s greatest leaders have graduated.
On the surface VALEMONT is like any other University but something is different, something is
strange...especially with the students. Some students are smart, some are athletic, some are
strong….and some are VAMPIRES.
VALEMONT is a school within a school, a co-educational (human and vampire) SOCIAL
LABORATORY for vampires to learn of their inheritance and understand how their uniqueness
must be integrated and balanced with the world outside. Some humans leave VALEMONT
never knowing the truth and others who show certain characteristics are "recruited" to become
vampires.
VALEMONT is not only a university, it is the ROYAL COURT of the Vampires. Where the
professors are the ELDERS and the students are the NEXT GENERATION.
And soon there will be an UPRISING…

4. THE VALEMONT STORY
The UPRISING has begun and just like in any royal court, at VALEMONT the
alliances and rivalries that are made between the five houses and its king can
cause GLOBAL consequences.
The “old ways” of the vampires of HUNTING and PREYING on humans
versus the “new way” of assimilation and social harmony. After the
revolution, who will reign?
The VAMPIRES have hidden in the shadows too long and now the
only person to stand in the way of these emissaries of chaos may
be one girl…SOPHIE FIELDS.

5. KEY CHARACTERS
SOPHIE FIELDS - She is a new student at Valemont and appears to be just another pupil of
privilege, wealth and attitude but Sophie isn’t one of them. In fact, she is at the college under
a false identity hoping to find clues about her brother’s murder.
ERIC FIELDS – Brother of Sophie, murdered while attending Valemont
GABRIEL – Sophie’s brother’s best friend and school “Outcast.” Gabriel was expelled from
Valemont and is secretly living in town. The last person to see her brother alive, Sophie is
drawn to him as she seeks the truth.
SEBASTIAN AND BEATRICE - The college’s “It” couple. Sophie believes these two are
involved in her brother’s murder and if they don’t know what happened, they definitely know
people who do.
NICHOLAS BLAUT - Sophie’s professor and guidance counselor. He will help guide her
through Valemont. Nicholas is in his 30’s but obviously much older in Vampire years, he is
wise, athletic and attractive. We may not be able to know which side he is aligned with as he
sets Sophie’s tests and moral choices.
POPPY - Sophie’s warm, bubbly and loyal human roommate who is unaware that Valemont is
a school for Vampires. She serves as comic relief.
