Scripty goodness!
Script printed out and bound in #5 Acco brads with cardstock covers as per script custom and Austin Heart of Film rules. I picked a tasteful speckled grey cardstock, for those who care. Now I need to write a two sentence synopsis. Oh, the evil! I loathe summaries!...
script status

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
