Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNOF8lNvsOc After the death of her father and the loss of her racing partner, a veteran off-road driver enters an all-women desert rally with an unlikely teammate. Get to know the writer: 1. What is your screenplay about? DESERT BELLES is about a mature woman pushing herself to win an off-road desert auto race to save the family business and in doing so rediscovering her passion for the sport. 2. What genres does your screenplay fall under? Action adventure. 3. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? DESERT BELLES is based on a real women-only off road competition, The Rebelle Rally. The world is exciting, dangerous, physically and mentally challenging and shows that women are strong and resourceful competitors. We’ve had 100 plus years of men in movies having grand adventures. Now it’s time for women, and women of an age, to be the lead. 4. How would you describe this script in two words? Exhilirating competition. —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
