The Screenplay
Synopsis
An Arizona hometown football hero, Elliot Amblin and his daughter Carolina, race along Highway 10 trekking across the southern United States with no time to spare. They’re hunted by The Piles, the vengeful sons of the man who ruined Elliot’s football career… Their little brother is dead and they are seeing red, as red as their souped up Ford is. Will Elliot and Carolina make it to Texas to grandma’s house in their Chevy before the Piles catch them? They have a few states to go, and they'll have to move as fast as Elliot’s high school nickname: Lightning… but don’t worry, they may have help along the way.
C.W.’s hopes for Lightning in a bottle!
The Music: Eric Church
C.W. Studios hopes to get the story to Eric Church so that he may enjoy the work and the Studio, and can discuss with or enter into a business partnership with C.W. Stone over the necessary writing rights.
The Studio: Warner Brothers
With the stars attached, C.W. Studios hopes to bring his story to the studio of the real Water Tower, to see if they would like to help finance and distribute Lightning with C.W.
The Star: Ryan Gosling
With the rights to the music, C.W. Studios will then attempt to contact Mr. Gosling himself to read for the role of Elliot Amblin. Fun fact: Ryan is the same age as Elliot, and also has daughters.
A knockout role for one of C.W.’s favorites.
Below is a video of where it all began… The man that inspired the song, the song that inspired the creation, and the creation that will inspire a community.
Here at C.W. Studios, we’d like to introduce to you the official, the one and only…
Eric Church playing a live version of Lightning.

TRAILER COMING SOON!
Imagine a story that can bring Eric and his fans together in a movie watching celebration dedicated entirely to Lightning.
C.W. has that story. With it, C.W. Studios will become a story of its own. The song and the writing experience has been a spiritual, cathartic, and eye-opening journey for him. He hopes it will also be one for Eric, for the filmmakers, and for you, the audience.
If you like what you see, believe what C.W. believes, and want to see Lightning on the big screen, please support C.W. Studios and continue along the tour as you please.
