Synopsis/Details

Emma reveals to Andre the special relationship she had with her father when she was young. She characterizes him as a "girl-dad" because he was so devoted to her.

Then she describes the trauma of losing that relationship.

Andre suggests that she's sabotaging her own happiness in an attempt to get back at him. He argues that her ongoing un-happiness serves as a testament to the emotional damage she sustained when he abandoned her. She agrees that this revenge plan is not working out well for her.

Together they formulate a plan for escaping this dysfunctional pattern of behavior.

The Writer: Richard Buzzell

I'm the author of twenty feature scripts, one of which, "Robot Love," has been sold through Script Revolution. I'm an audience-oriented writer, which means that I emphasize the interests of the audience over the dictates of the screenwriting formulas. I'm attracted to drama but I have a strict "no fake drama" rule in my writing. I have a number of scripts that are especially well-suited to the streaming platforms. Audiences are looking for something special that’ll make them feel more alive, and that’s exactly the same thing I’m looking for when I’m writing. This is why I feel so in sync with the audience. We’re on the same mission. As all writers should be. Go to bio
