Synopsis/Details:
This is Andy Weir's story that I made into a screenplay. I added more action and more twists to it to make it interesting for the big screen. But at the same time I wanted to use his really good dialogue where I could so that it would remain his story.
Actors: 2 women, 1 man. (can be 2)
Locations: An apartment.
Here is his story:

It's not for sale, quite the opposite actually. It's written in a group where you will get access to music makers, editors, color editors and people willing to help you out with the movie if you choose to direct it. There is no money involved.
Message: A director has finally been found. I kinda figured I would find a director in days, but it took a bit longer because I never sent it around, but just waited.

I'm trying to remove all my unfinished scripts from this site and really need help doing so. I have a master's degree in psychology and love to add science to my scripts. I like to structure complicated plots that take 2 watches to fully get. Info to directors All my scripts are free. If you really are planing to make a short film and film it well without shaky-cam I'm more than willing to let you film any of my... Go to bio
