The End of Us

Lorena Chiles – Screenwriter
Texas, United States

Bio
Lorena Chiles is a University of Texas student pursuing a degree in film and screenwriting.  Most recently she was a writer and script supervisor for an upcoming web series “To Die For” for University of  Texas Student Television, and directed a documentary. She has a few screenplays in the works, including multiple short films and a TV pilot.

Synopsis
The end of the world heralds the end of living beings. And as the last animal dies, the very act of dying also becomes a thing of the past. Life and Death reconcile as their purpose and their subsequent own “lives” comes to a close.

 

Inspiration For The Script
I originally wrote a shorter version of this script a competition in 2020. We were given story prompts and mine was to write in the romance genre, use a rooftop as the main location, and also incorporate a picnic basket.  I was excited to get romance as my genre, but I felt like the combination of that with a “rooftop” and a “picnic basket” was just too straightforward. I decided to either make a Sci-Fi or Fantasy, and then The End of Us was born. I knew Life and Death had to be LGBTQ to some effect, seeing as Death “doesn’t discriminate” and Life “changes” (so I wrote Death as Non-Binary, and Life as Gender Fluid). I really loved how the story turned out, but I felt this really short version of the script I wrote for that original challenge didn’t really encapsulate the story I wanted to tell, so I decided to rework it. And here we are now.
