Dresden

Dresden    Genre:  Realistic Fiction/Modern Fantasy/Horror
Written by Michael O. Sajbel
First Draft of Script
April 20, 2010


This script was emailed and written from the director of the movie, The Ultimate Gift.  This movie was based on the book, The Ultimate Gift, by Jim Stovall.  If you have not seen the movie, rent it!  If you have not read the book, read it!  


     Dresden starts out in the year 1945 during WWII.  The people are scurrying and trying to flee for their lives, from the bombing by the British and United States Army.  Dresden is Germany's 7th largest city at the time and most important transportation network.  The scene describes a family running, with highlights of a little girl and her china head doll.  
     The script brings the reader back to present day.  A family of four are the main characters and they are making a move to the Fox Valley area.  They buy an old house, and while they are slowly unpacking their belongings, there are signs of others that may have been living in the dwelling for, who knows how long?  The basement seems to be the habitat of the spirits, and maybe a stalking book or two.  But as the story moves on, the Modern Fantasy genre steps in to explain what happens to the family and in their house.  Scenes include a ghost buster coming with service, spirits taking over beings, and the main father character, Ed, doing an about face in personality at the middle of the story.
     The script is in its first draft state.  But as it unfolds to movie form, which I know it will, it will be galvanizing to have a motion picture filmed in the Neenah and Menasha area....And in today's economic situation, brilliant of director, Michael O. Sajbel!
