What is your screenplay about?

Years ago a young couple was believed to have committed suicide by jumping from the Newport Bridge after the husband was convicted of manslaughter. Their bodies were never recovered. This screenplay presents an alternative explanation and that moment of transition where the Gloria disposes of the last vestiges of her married life and moves on as a different person.

Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

There are many women who secretly wish they could move forward in their lives without the baggage of their depraved husband. This movie shows that moment for Gloria Wrigley.
