THE FINAL SCRIPT

Logline: When a youthful, failed screenwriter works as a hospice janitor to pay the bills, he writes daily script pages for a dying actress—with her character recovering from terminal illness—she begins inexplicably healing in real life.

Tagline: "She never missed a cue or forgot a line."

Teddy Fortin, an out-of-work scriptwriter reduced to custodial work at a hospice, meets Effie McBride—a beloved former Hollywood character actress with over 40 years on screen. As Effie battles a terminal illness, Teddy creates an ambitious experiment: he writes her a script, one page daily, where her character gradually recovers. Page one shows her feeling better. Page two, sitting up. Page three, standing. As the pages accumulate, Effie's real-life condition mirrors the script with terrifying accuracy. A haunting exploration of the power of narrative to reshape reality itself.
