3. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?
Every one can identify with the struggle of finding your calling and living it out. This story shows what happens when we decide to do things based on our own wisdom (which can be flawed) and not relying on God's wisdom. It asks that question, "If you had the power to do what you wanted, how would you wield that power and at what cost?" It shows what the love of a family can do to heal the wrongs of one's actions. What is more important, family or career? Can it be both or do we tend to put one over the other for the wrong reasons.
