Ten Scripts

"Dreams tossed away, destinies reclaimed." Brian, a pay-per-hour divorce accountant in LA, harbors dreams of becoming a screenwriter. Despite writing ten promising screenplays, his aspirations are shattered when his estranged wife discards his precious scripts during their acrimonious divorce. Keel, a compassionate garbage collector, discovers the discarded manuscripts and, moved by their brilliance, anonymously delivers them to Winston, a seasoned and respected Hollywood producer whose garbage he has been collecting for years. Winston, initially dismissive, is persuaded by his wife to read the anonymous screenplays. Enchanted by their originality and depth, he becomes determined to find their mysterious author. However, the "garbage mafia" – a term Keel uses for the tight-lipped community of garbage collectors – leaves no clues, frustrating Winston’s search. Five years pass with Winston's efforts yielding no results. Just as hope seems lost, a breakthrough comes in the form of a classified ad in a local paper. The ad, penned in a distinct style reminiscent of the screenplays, catches Winston's eye. Recognizing the unique voice, Winston finally tracks down Brian. The reunion leads to an unexpected collaboration, blending Brian’s raw talent with Winston’s industry expertise. As they work together to bring Brian’s stories to life, they discover the power of perseverance, the value of unexpected friendships, and the transformative magic of second chances.
