Synopsis/Details
Analysis overall score: 5.2, marketplace score 4 (Palm Springs International Screenplay Awards & Pitchdeck-Sizzle Reel-Trailer Festival)
This story needs to be told to help people understand that they are not responsible for all of the things in life that they cannot control. Individuals are only responsible for their own actions, and they must understand those actions within the context of their life experiences, which they cannot control. Jack isn’t responsible for his father’s murder of his sister, or his mother’s suicide, but he carries these event with him for the rest of his life, and they affect every decision he makes, including his decision to forget. And just because Jack forgets what he doesn’t want to remember, that doesn’t make it go away. His forgetting only obscures his sense of reality to the point where his version of the world is so full of lies that he can’t tell fact from fiction. Until Olivia breaks the cycle and saves him from his fantasy.
