In a world where nature and technology harmonize in unexpected ways, one photographer's quest to capture a breathtaking underwater phenomenon sparks an awe-inspiring journey that unites humans and the mysterious depths of the ocean in a symphony of light and sound.
SYNOPSIS:
Me: I want to create a narrative that ties together several concepts. The Laurel caves south of Pittsburgh, PA. The newly discovered Cenote underwater caverns that are believed to be a passage from mexico into the Caribbean, an effort by a photographer to see and record an underwater phenomenon where several large whales invert themselves, and then the photography enlists the efforts of an underwater sono graphing company to create a concert for the whales. And then as a climax, the concert takes place after a large group of whales arrive along with millions of glow emitting underwater sea creatures like sea fireflies, squid, and others all come together to play their lighting and glow abilities along with the music from the underwater sono graphing, creating a large underwater landscape scene of the concert, the glowing sea animals, the music... and people loving it.

This is being updated with the new "Deep" further down the list here.
Something for all of you... as I was writing this film script, Final Draft crashed and now I can't open the script anymore. I am talking with Final Draft support to get it open, the file is saved in the backups but won't open with the new version. As much as Final Draft is supposed to be an industry standard, see if you can find a better type of script writing tool as having things become problematic sucks. FYI.
