This script was a finalist in the 2024 Annapolis Film Festival Shorts challenge, and won the 2023-24 Northeast Filmmakers Lab pitch grant. This story is meant to be quiet and tonally resonant, with small details that build tension without breaking it until the very last moment. The monologues of the main character are deliberately done; half of the motivation to write this script came from a desire to showcase the talents of an actress currently studying at the Julliard school of drama. She is my daughter. The other half of my motivation came from a desire to explore the intersection between faith and alien abduction stories.
