Half Marathon

  • Screenplays

    • It’s an epic; well, half an epic.

    This sports comedy follows Meredith Davidson as she improves her life. She doesn’t move out, move up, get married, or run a marathon. She runs a half marathon. Along her 13 mile trip, Meredith finds a satisfying relationship with Ben Mason, an earnest Illinois graduate student stuck in a similar rut. They both achieve minor success by losing weight, smoking less, and running.

    Half Marathon is an uplifting script but its not a rocket ship. It doesn’t shoot for stars or the moon or Chicago. It tells an accessible story that is inspirational without false hopes of overcoming overwhelming odds.
