I’ve been building Book Theory Blue as a Vancouver-set psychological sci-fi series about UFO disclosure anxiety, perception collapse, media silence, and an unseen force called Mr. Blue.

The story is rooted in Vancouver: Granville Bridge, the psychiatric ward, rain-soaked streets, West Coast fog, apartment blocks, seawall walks, and that specific feeling of the city becoming strange when reality starts to bend.

One of the strangest parts of the project is that it also has an official soundtrack released under the artist name LEONE.

The songs aren’t just promo tracks. They are part of the story world — emotional signals from inside Rory Pendleton’s unraveling mind, reflections of the Mr. Blue mythology, and musical extensions of the Purple Beams / Blue Shadows conflict.

The soundtrack connects directly to the larger Book Theory Blue transmedia experience: the pitch, the manuscript, the visual style, the concept trailer, and the idea that art itself can become a warning against Unreality.

I just released / finished a new LEONE track called “The Dying Light”, connected to the Book Theory Blue universe.

This one is different from the Mr. Blue / UFO / Unreality side of the project. It’s much more human and intimate — a melancholic alt-rock ballad from the point of view of Rory’s dying father, during one last moment outside the hospital before the sun fades.

It’s about wanting time to slow down when you know you’re living through a moment you’ll never get again.

No mythology. No conspiracy. No monsters.

Just a father, his child, the fading light, and the ache of trying to hold onto one final beautiful minute.

For me, this track is the emotional heart underneath Book Theory Blue. Before the cosmic horror, before the paranoia, before Mr. Blue — there’s grief, love, and the fear of losing someone.

Would love for people to hear it.

I’ve been building a creator-originated psychological sci-fi thriller called Book Theory Blue.

It’s designed as an 8 x 1-hour prestige series set in Vancouver. The story follows Rory Pendleton, a man trying to reconstruct what happened to him after a crisis on Granville Bridge — and whether the force he calls Mr. Blue is a delusion, an entity, a system, or something stranger.

The core question is:

Can someone be experiencing a psychological break… and also be right?

The series blends psychological thriller, UFO/disclosure fiction, Vancouver noir, media paranoia, grief, and subjective memory. The deck also lays out the Blue/Purple symbolic language, the Season 1 engine, perception-based flashbacks, and the larger transmedia foundation behind the project.

I’m currently looking for the right producer/showrunner partner to help develop it for television.

Here’s the pitch deck:

Would love to hear what people think — especially about the tone, concept, and whether this feels like something that could live as a streaming series.

I’ve been developing a Vancouver-set psychological sci-fi thriller called Book Theory Blue, and I recently put together the opening pilot sample script as part of the pitch package.

The series follows Rory Pendleton, a VFX artist who wakes up in a psychiatric ward after a major personal crisis and tries to reconstruct the events that led him there. His account involves UAP disclosure, media silence, a symbolic system of “Purple Beams” and “Blue Beams,” and an unseen intelligence he calls Mr. Blue.

The big question of the series is:

Can someone be experiencing a psychological break… and also be right?

The pilot sample opens with the Granville Bridge incident, moves into a VGH psychiatric interview, then introduces a recurring Orpheum Theatre narration device where Rory explains his worldview directly to an unseen audience. From there, it begins tracing the UAP/disclosure obsession that starts reshaping his perception of reality.

I’m not positioning myself as the final showrunner or sole TV writer. The pilot sample is meant as a proof-of-tone and adaptation blueprint — something that shows the voice, structure, atmosphere, and emotional engine of the series for an experienced showrunner/writers’ room to build from.

The project also includes a manuscript, pitch deck, Season 1 arc, series bible, concept trailer, visual style guide, and original music released under LEONE, so the pilot sample is one piece of a larger transmedia package.

It’s strange, personal, paranoid, emotional, and very Vancouver.

If you’re into shows like Mr. Robot, The OA, Severance, True Detective, or psychological sci-fi that blurs the line between breakdown and revelation, this might be your kind of thing.

I am currently reaching out to producers and showrunners to come on board for packaging.
