THE OUTER EDGES
STAGE: Development- Script 1st draft
WRITERS: Magnus Aspli & Robert Klecha
PRODUCER: Jade Alexander
PRODUCTION COMPANY: Little Jade Productions
BRIEF SYNOPSIS
Stranded on a weird jungle planet, a small group of strangers are desperate to return to civilization. As they work to repair their spaceship they soon understand that the damage sustained in the crash landing can only offer four of them the chance to leave, yet they are five.
As a mysterious signal from another wreckage appear on their monitors they decide to salvage the missing equipment from that ship to complement their own so they can all escape.
To their surprise the ship is identical to their own, and soon the surreal events and hallucinations they have endured—having been blamed on the drugs needed for them to breathe the air—give way to a stranger truth. They meet themselves…
Alternate versions of themselves, of flesh and blood, also stranded on this peculiar planet. Seemingly from another dimension merging with theirs due to the strange celestial bodies—a black hole and a star—surrounding the planet, tearing at the fabric of space and time.
For some this is a heartfelt meeting, reminiscing about shared love. For some it exposes old pain and bad decisions, burdens and regrets. For all however, it ends with devastating new choices. The past decisions they all made got them here, all eight of them, but now they must face up to themselves and their past and find their true character, as only four can leave before the planet is consumed by the black hole and the star.
