About this Short Film
The Script Was is an experimental short film by Thomas that uses narration, nature imagery, glitches, and unexpected moments to explore storytelling in a different way. The film plays with the idea of a script that does not quite go as planned. Instead of trying to make everything perfect, Thomas turns the unusual moments, visual effects, and changes into part of the story. Through creativity and humour, the film shows that sometimes the best ideas come from thinking outside the usual rules.

Film Transcript
Some souls enter the world quietly. Then there was me. There are voices that are heard. There are voices that are felt. People saw darkness. I saw movement. They called it strange. I called it beautiful. I fall in love with moments—the ones nobody feels alone. Too many names, too many boxes, too many scripts. The film wasn't broken. The script was.
