CAST LIST:

NARRATOR – Angelica Alejandro
WOMAN – Laura Kyswaty
MORALES – Ben Hur
ORTIZ/DRIVER – Gabriel Darku
TAXI DRIVER – Chris Reid-Geisler
EVERS – Holly Sarchfield

Get to know writer Gary Makin:

1. What is your screenplay about?

It’s set in a future where people rely on technology too much, but everything is hackable. A future with no privacy – not even inside your own mind. A future where corporations rule, and in this case, play God.

2. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?

It’s a very visual, suspenseful story with strong action scenes and some cool ideas. You’d definitely get a good trailer out of it.

1. What is your screenplay about?

Among Us is a tale of elves, living disguised as humans. These
long-lived elves have varying supernatural abilities, depending
on their elemental affinity (Water, Air, etc). The Light elves
use them to help people, the Dark elves, to gain power. And
sometimes, one of us humans finds out about the secret lives of
elves.

Wonder, laughter, suspense, tragedy and sacrifice; Among Us

human experience to the screen.
