Next week, 10/23 will be our last script review in October so we hope you’ll step out and attend. The author is newcomer Don Yansen and his screenplay The Girl From the Edge of Time is in the sci-fi genre, based on a young adult novel entitled Derelict.
Logline:
A teen science prodigy, desperate to get away from her criminal father and attend school on Earth, fights to save herself and three other runaways after they are inadvertently transported into outer space on an old, wrecked space ship.
