Best Screenplay

Sacred Sun -  🇺🇸

By Michael Louis Gould

"'Sacred Sun" unravels a chilling narrative sparked by a military experiment at a solar energy plant. Strange events ensue – an eerie 'other' sun, a mysterious new star, and unexplained anomalies. César, a Native American chief, foresees malevolence, unable to prevent his daughter's demise. In the forest, Iris encounters a ghostly lover, while Isaac's actions, monitored by a haunted clock, disrupt the family. A sacrificial act triggers salvation and briefly summons an undefeated Native god. The tale symbolizes America's internal conflict between Christian belief and Native vision-dream."
