Overview

Step into a filmmaker's workshop where blueprints become stories. This anthology gathers award-winning shorts and unproduced gems across genres-espionage, intimate drama, Shakespeare-inflected tragedy, and personal, iPhone-shot experiments. Each script is introduced with a candid note on how it came to be: the Lisbon-sparked evolution of THE DARK BETWEEN US (Best Creator, Seoul Webfest; Coverfly Thriller Top 10), the bilingual spy world of LE NID, the RAW-verse seed in LEAVING PRIYANKA, the grief-forged meditations of TULIP/ROCK and SUNFLOWER/SOUL, and the Shakespeare-driven ambition of LIBERTY. You'll also find a brief primer on how to read a screenplay-part blueprint, part poetry-so you can see the movie on the page. Made for film lovers, aspiring writers, and anyone curious about process, these pages reveal the practical choices behind low-/no-budget filmmaking, the creative risks that shape a story, and the lessons learned along the way. Above all, they celebrate the courage to make something now-with whatever you have-and to keep getting better.
