Additional Project Info
WISHING WELL is a 21st-century-style fairy tale. Set in a forgotten corner of the American Southwest desert, this adventure blends sci fi elements with a hint of romantic comedy. Featuring a small primary cast, a limited number of shooting locations, and only a few scenes worth of effects and animation, the screenplay is adaptable to a wide range of budget requirements.
