LOGLINE: Escaping the constraints and empty materialism of modern culture, an unfulfilled and unprepared young couple living aboard a sailboat on a rural Missouri lake are seeking something more, something beautiful, something real. Can they survive and rewrite their own rules of modern existence or will they discover society operates its way for a reason?

CASTING FOR:
EVERLY: Female, Early Twenties (20-25) Has an innocent and timeless beauty. She is artsy, adventurous, anxious about life, impulsive, free spirited, brave and ready to face life head on. Feels pressure from a controlling family and is searching for her independence.

Excerpt from “Meet Me in the Morning”

ACTION:

Character peacefully walks up to a concrete ledge and sits to reflect. The sun starts to peek over the horizon.

DIALOGUE:

I hate that those were the last words I spoke to her...

She died completely out of nowhere... Both of my parents were suppose to grow old. And become my kids grandparents. I never even thought there could be another way... Just when I had everything figured out.

I've always cherished sunrises. More than any other time of day. Every morning, there's a heroic battle. Massive, powerful blue sky. Fearless underdog. And every morning, our reigning champion is briefly defeated. And our lives glow the most elegant orange and purple. It's beautiful. And it seems, all this only to wake the world up... But sunrises capture me. They change the way I see. And in these delicate moments, I love. I'm at peace. I understand.

But I never witness these battles. I guess only because I never make it a point to. But when I do, they're always so fleeting. I never fully grasp them before they're gone... And today I'm still lost. I guess I was hoping for more of that same understanding. But this sunrise is completely different. Almost unwelcome... Right now, all I know for sure is, even though this is my weakest moment, this is my first morning on my own. And in a strange sick way, could this sunrise be my most beautiful?
