Every script I write features some intrepid female at its core, but for this contest I submitted NICK OF TIME, a time-travelling dramedy, think KATE AND LEOPOLD meets the now ancient British series GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART meets MADMEN.
Logline: When a disenchanted but talented advertising whiz is magically transported back to NYC in 1941, she must decide if living in that war-torn era might be preferred to surviving in the high tech, financially challenged times of 2008.
Mary Ruth Burroughs is a genius copywriter at a top notch ad agency who finds the modern world of dot.com mania, sub-prime mortgage disaster, social media obsession and the pursuit of wealth migraine-inducing.
But when a chance encounter with a mysterious shopkeeper sends her back to the United States right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, she must adjust to a whole new way of thinking, as she faces surprisingly unexpected, yet exciting challenges.
As she masters how to traverse through the two time periods, things get increasingly complicated when a love interest enters the picture and the magical portal starts to close.
