A multi award-winning short screenplay.

Inspired by Waiting for Godot and The Sixth Sense.

On a windswept beach, a retired professor searching for something lost encounters a young boy building sandcastles.

But the boy is not what he seems.

As the tide rolls in, the child challenges the old man to stop searching - and start building.

 

To put down his metal detector, and pick up a bucket and spade instead.

A quiet, philosophical story about grief, legacy - and the walls we choose to protect.

In Development.

“The Inheritance of Purpose could become a gem of modern short-form screenwriting.  Its message is both timely and timeless.”
