Please Rewind. After the death of his brother, Wyatt will do anything to get him back, even if he has to break both time and him to do so.

Why do you feel this publication is important?

I believe Storyline is important because it allows for non-film majors to have the opportunity to show creative expression and show their abilities as artists. Many non-FAVS or art-based majors will struggle to have chances to represent themselves in a creative effort and potentially enter different areas of personal exploration. Storyline not only gives these opportunities but also direct motivation for those to give an effort with the monetary prize and publication of work.

What are the inspirations/motivations behind your screenplay?

For several years, I’ve wanted to write around this idea: “If someone you loved died and you had one last conversation with them, what would you say?” I’ve continuously written this conversation until I knew exactly what I wanted: for it not to be a conversation about who has died, but rather one of regret, comfort, and acceptance. I wanted to make sure the conversation and story were as emotionally meaningful and real as I could make them as I tried to embody myself within the two characters. In some ways, I approached the script with my personal desire to let my friends and family know how deeply important they are to me. I am someone who deeply cherishes my relationships, as I consider the connections we have and how we foster them to be the most important part of being alive. I took that core belief and implemented it throughout the entire story.
