EP. 1638: Screenwriter Sarantos (X9)

In a near-future world ravaged by the memory-wiping virus X9, brilliant young scientist Andrea Santiago discovers a suppressed cure hidden by the powerful Biotech Pharmaceuticals. Having once been recruited into the system she now seeks to dismantle, Andrea grapples with betrayal, moral compromise, and the overwhelming cost of truth. https://www.instagram.com/sarantosmelogia Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? X9 explores what happens when the boundaries between human emotion and artificial intelligence blur. It's a sci-fi thriller wrapped around a deeply human question: what defines love, loyalty, and consciousness when technology begins to feel? Beneath the futuristic setting lies a story about redemption, sacrifice, and the fragile line between creator and creation. What genres does your screenplay fall under? It's primarily a sci-fi thriller with strong psychological and emotional drama elements. Think Ex Machina meets Blade Runner 2049, but with the emotional core of Her. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? Because X9 reflects where we are right now — standing at the crossroads of ethics, emotion, and evolution. It's a visual and emotional experience that invites audiences to question their relationship with technology and each other. It's thrilling, thought-provoking, and cinematic in a way that blends spectacle with soul. ——- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
