The Conscription topped out as a Semi-finalist, but it was so unexpected to make it that far. I got a lot of really helpful feedback that helped me turn this short screenplay into a full length feature.
Thank you Screencraft!

GORDON'S KNOT (UPDATED!)
What if you could go back in time and fix one regret?
When fourteen-year-old Mary Gordon is given a supposed magical relic that can do just that, Mary writes it off as another tall tale from her grandmotherly neighbor with a penchant for storytelling,
Until she discovers that it’s not a tall tale at all, just in time to undo an unbearable humiliation at the hands of a school bully.
But what she thinks is an easily solved problem turns out to be anything but, as she discovers not everyone is what they appear to be and that not every hard problem needs a complicated solution.
