Shadowlands, a screenplay

Abstract

Over the centuries, the art of storytelling has changed. What was once restricted to spoken word epics like The Odyssey has morphed into major motion pictures. Film holds the power to tell stories never before seen and spread messages and information across borders. The writing of a feature length screenplay is an exercise in not just telling a story, but in crafting a world and a message worth sharing. In the following screenplay, I hope to have accomplished this feat by creating a universe of shadows and those who inhabit it and a message to raise awareness of emotional abuse and manipulation in relationships through the complex interactions of the characters in the story.
