* I am a screenwriter, not a filmmaker, though I do enjoy playing with cameras. I'm looking for filmmakers who are willing to work with me on getting this made. This synopsis has been changed from the original one I'd posted that focused more on past lives. The Astral Plane, Akashic Records, Soul Agreements, Spirit Guides, and the things I will explore in this script is a whole other thing.
If the Karmic belief is true, that we choose our families, our relationships, life lessons to learn, our careers, and...our deaths...before we're born, does that include murder?
While investigating a young woman's murder, small town newspaper reporter Stephanie "Stevie" Rigby is attacked in the newsroom. After recovering from the attack, Stevie is traumatized not only by the attack, but also the paralyzing fear of knowing she had no memory of the attack that could help the police identify her attacker, who is also possibly the murderer. For help, she turns to her best friend, Marcie, who, under the name Angelsong, makes her living doing psychic, astrological, tarot, and past life readings. Marcie is also a licensed hypnotherapist who Stevie asks to hypnotize her so she can remember her attack and, she hopes, identify her attacker. What Stevie finds, however, is another existence called the Astral Plane, where a whole other world exists alongside the Earthly Plane. Here, she meets creatures she thought were only in fiction novels and movies, like vampires, werewolves, and even dragons. Here she meets Jill, her Spirit Guide who acts as her sort of fairy godmother to inspire, guide, teach, and even warn her, though Stevie doesn't always listen. With further visits to the Astral Plane, Stevie finds the Akashic Records, a great library filled with books documenting every life, past, present, and yet to be, on earth, as well as every piece of literature, art, and song ever created. She finds her own Akashic Record, detailing her life's accomplishments and Soul Agreements, in which she planned, before her birth, her present life. In her Soul Agreement, she discovers that she chose her parents, her career, every relationship, and...her death. She can't bring herself to read about her chosen death, but she begins to wonder, if we all choose our deaths, does that include murder? As she unravels her own Akashic Record, she explores the question of what is chosen, or not, and what she is meant to do in the present life to fulfill her Karmic Soul Agreements.
