Screenwriter Q&A Follows The Live Script Read


Transport
Screenwriter, Shea E Butler – United States/Canada

Bio
Shea E. Butler is an award-winning Director/Writer/Producer of Short Films, Web Series, and Scripts. Her films and scripts have been in over 70 film festivals around the world. She is an alumna of Ryan Murphy’s Half Foundation Directing Fellowship and the Warner Bros. Television Director’s Workshop and is a published author.

Born in Cairo, Egypt to American parents living abroad, Shea divides her time between Vancouver, B.C. and Los Angeles, CA.

Nothing like being charged by a pair of lions to get the creative juices flowing!

Synopsis
Discredited, deep space Military Captain An-Drea Hale is assigned to command a small, lowly prison transport spaceship. She is ordered to interrogate her prisoners and expose a radical rebel leader before the Military destroys her ship and everyone on board to ensure the death of the rebel leader. TRANSPORT is a half-hour science fiction, psychological drama that mirrors the isolation of our current pandemic world and the wide range of social and psychological dilemmas we face today, but ultimately it is about hope and the way forward.

Inspiration For The Script
These last few years with the Covid-19 pandemic, the brutal racial murders, rioting and the political upheaval and unrest, the world we once knew, has drastically changed. It’s affected everyone’s life. Like everyone, I sat in isolation, filled with churning emotions, and immersed in a new reality of isolation, fear, and uncertainty. At times it seemed overwhelming. We’re told it is not healthy to suppress our emotions. That we need to face our trauma. Some people turn to family, some to their faith, and some go to a psychiatrist. Me…?  I created Captain An-Drea Hale and TRANSPORT to help me.
