Deep Ascent (Short Film Screenplay)

Synopsis:

Doctor Erica Green must escape a deep, cold grave after her research submersible is trapped on the bottom of one of the deepest trenches in the Pacific Ocean.

Our Review:

The pulse rate keeps fluctuating as one reads this script. Deep Ascent is a well structured script and would be a good choice for a sci-fi short film. The visuals naturally keep appearing and that's the success for a fine narrative. The challenges at every step make the script nail biting till the end. Great writing!
