THE BEACON — a screenplay

A feature screenplay about a grieving man who builds a message on nickel plates for anything that might exist ten thousand years from now.

Why it surfaced

The site presents the film as a deliberately constrained object: one shed, 27 scenes, five speaking roles, no score, no visual effects, and a future that never appears. Its practical details—four etched plates, possible destinations from a salt rock to the Moon, and rules such as “assume nothing else”—make the screenplay feel like both a film proposal and an artifact from the film itself.
