When a jaded housewife realizes that her house is keeping her and her husband stuck in a repeating scene from the 1950s, she fights to awaken her husband from a mysterious trance so they can outsmart the house and escape before they forget who they really are and get stuck in the obsolete scene forever.
Jen Butler on why the script should be made into a film:
Relevance: This story touches on some big-name topics such as rewriting learned gender roles, inner child healing, embracing and overcoming differences in relationships, escaping beauty ideals, aging gracefully, navigating a spiritual awakening, tuning into intuition, and more.
Opportunity: 41.7 million adults in the United States received treatment or counseling for their mental health within the past year. According to Market Research, the self-improvement market’s worth was estimated at $13.2 billion in 2022 with 5.6% average yearly gains. People want help. People want to grow in self-awareness. People want to wake up.
Necessity: A large theme within End of Scene is how to evolve a long term complacent marriage into a conscious relationship where each party loves one another for who they are. More than 50% of all divorce cases claim irreconcilable differences. What would happen if each individual took responsibility rather than projecting their unresolved issues onto their partner?
