I wanna know about apostasy. the script not the concept
HI SO APOSTASY IS THE TV SHOW I'VE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE SINCE I WAS 17 YEARS OLD. A REAL QUICK PITCH IS ESSENTIALLY A POLITICIAN'S WIFE BECOMES A PROPAGANDA WRITER FOR A REVOLUTIONARY FACTION.
Originally it was gonna be a novel until I realized film and television is the field I want to work in. It follows Aleksandra "Asya" Komanescu, a tragic bored housewife and mother with the saddest eyes you've ever seen searching for her maid who's gone missing, only to realize the maid was spying on her powerful politician of a husband for a group who want to overthrow the government. After discovering this while trying to be lead astray by a man posing as a private investigator, she decides not to report them. Terrified to admit the only INITIAL reason she's doing this is out of DESPERATE BOREDOM, Asya begins spying on her husband and writing propaganda pamphlets for this faction.
It's got politics, meditations on society and womanhood, she gets to rage against the machine, gets a boyfriend AND a girlfriend, burns down her house, briefly becomes a politician, turns an apartment into a greenhouse for potatos it's got A LOT and it's my baby!!!
