Movies by Daniel Barnz
Beastly
A modern-day take on the "Beauty and the Beast" tale where a New York teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love.
Cake
After having visions of a member of her support group who killed herself, a woman who also suffers with chronic pain seeks out the widower of the suicide.
The Cutting Room
In a trailer park on the outskirts of nowhere, all the characters edited out of every movie, book, play and TV show throughout history live together in close quarters. What happens when Jason, a techno-hero deleted from the latest Bruckheimer epic, arrives and falls in love with Lucy, the saucy cousin cut from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice?
Won't Back Down
Jamie Fitzpatrick and Nona Alberts are two women from opposites sides of the social and economic track, but they have one thing in common: a mission to fix their community's broken school and ensure a bright future for their children. The two women refuse to let any obstacles stand in their way as they battle a bureaucracy that's hopelessly mired in traditional thinking, and they seek to re-energize a faculty that has lost its passion for teaching.
