Synopsis/Details
Paul, a mechanic, tells his friend Dave he has problems with his past, but does not like to mention any specifics, so Dave recommends him to seek the help of Tina, a mysterious therapist without formal qualifications in psychology. His first session with Tina goes nowhere, so Dave takes him to an amusement arcade where he goes on the carousel, hoping to remember his childhood before the incident that changed his life happened. But, instead, the carousel is stopped in time and a ghost-like version of Paul leaves his own body suspended in time. Ghost Paul meets a ghost-like version of Tina who explains that they are both stopped in Time and are Interim Spirits, and they are not actually dead. Tina explains that no-one can go back in time to change their past, but they can take a timeout to consider their options for the future and how to deal psychologically with a bad past.

I want to create original scenarios with surprises for the audience. I do not want my scripts to be predictable. The unusual is always best. A script should be a journey. You don't know the destination, but you will enjoy the journey getting there. I like to explore the psychology of my characters, to give the story more depth. Also, there is now a link to my paintings… Go to bio
