Our Review
The world depicted in this script is bizarre, humorous, and somewhat twisted, yet we thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It makes me wonder if this is the direction our world is headed in. Despite the bleak circumstances, Bill and Lily's biggest fear is being separated from each other. The writer, Henry Sarwer-Foner, does an excellent job of building suspense and illustrating the catastrophic consequences of a post-apocalyptic world, where the only remaining companions are a pessimistic and optimistic AI. I'm excited to see how this script will be adapted into a compelling short film that captivates its audience. Amazing script overall !
