Hi! I’m a screenwriter.
I’d love to briefly introduce my new project — the psychological drama THE LIGHT OFF-SCREEN.
This isn’t a story about “guilty vs. innocent.”
It’s a story about a public accusation that crushes the protagonist’s marriage and career, turning a human being into a role — and about the cost of being watched, when the crowd writes the ending before the court does.
You can find the logline, synopsis, and script details on my profile.
Why I believe this project works:
A strong visual approach and suspense through silence: phone vibrations, “edited-out” fragments, sound used like a weapon.
A powerful character-driven conflict: the lead loses control not only of his career, but of who he is.
Themes of power and boundaries within the industry and relationships — without moralizing, told through drama.
Supporting characters aren’t just functions — they feel like real people.
Format: the project can be approached as an international (UK/US) production, with festival potential and broader audience reach.
If the tone and subject resonate with you, I’d be happy to share the materials upon request and briefly outline the development plan.
Thank you for your time,
Oleg
Sounds so interesting!
Thank you Libby!
