Kilonova Screenplay

"Kilonova" is a sci-fi love story set in another galaxy, telling the story of two stars, their dance, their merge, and their explosion.
I always found the philosophy around "love" itself interesting. So this story sets up the question "Is love enough to keep a relationship together?" and I wanted to write it where the answer is up to the reader/viewer's interpretation.
I also find astronomy and Greek mythology very interesting. So in this screenplay I've sort of woven the 2 together to create the characters, setting, and overall story of the short-film.
Before finding out about this opportunity, I was already brainstorming this story. As soon as I found out about it, I knew it'd be the perfect chance to finally flesh out this story. There is so much I want to tell with these characters but I knew I had to decide what to include in my submission. I was able to come up with something that I am proud of and find extremely beautiful. I also intentionally wrote it in a way where it can serve as it's own story but also has enough room for me to build off of it and expand the world and characters.
