SUPERnormal

I've just finished writing this script. The synopsis is below. Any ideas of who I should send the script to to produce it? SUPERnormal A man was a super hero on another planet (Exo) where he banished his arch enemy to Earth, who was causing war between Exo and it's neighbouring planets. This resulted in himself being banished in a dramatic scene where he is separated from his love. On Earth the hero is Joe Blow, a nerd working in a convenience store who couldn't be more opposite to a hero. He has a dream about his love on Exo and wakes laughing at himself for ever thinking that could be him. That day his store is held up and Joe lets all the money be taken, when, as the robber exits, across the yard walks the girl from his dream - who the robber starts to abuse. It's the only possible thing which could throw Joe into action, so he sneaks up behind the robber and knocks him out, saving his girl Carly. Joe's enemy on Earth is Giovanni Black, a billionaire drug company owner who is dominating the race for President where he secretly plans to cause a war between America and India and China. Joe starts having flashbacks to Exo and realises that he has to stop Giovanni, even though he sees himself as a nobody who can't do anything and has nothing. Carly is a tough sexy singer and she can't stand Joe putting himself down and lets him know it in no uncertain terms. Together they set about stopping Giovanni, but each step they take towards the goal gives Joe a flashback which shows him he is repeating the actions he took on Exo, and one step closer to losing everything again, including Carly. Joe has to overcome his fear of being a hero and use whatever little resources he has to stop the rich and powerful Giovanni. He does this using social media attention tricks and the occasional flash of Carly's smile. The flashbacks mirror the structure of the story on Earth, but visually Exo is a place of giants and little people, an old home of heroes, degraded and torn. While heroes have all but disappeared, the landscape is a memorial to them with oversized structures harping back to their glory days. The battles that occur on his old planet are dramatic in the extreme while on Earth Joe struggles to overcome his desire to be an every day Joe. When at least Joe faces his final confrontation with Giovanni he is racked by the knowledge that if he wins he will lose everything, but finally he does what any self respecting hero would do and defeats Giovanni. The twist at the end reveals how all was not at all as it seemed at his original banishment and while he thought he may have lost everything, it turns out everything has a different plan!
