Better Uses for the Infinity Gauntlet: A Super Satire (2019)

Thanos had one thing right: Incredible, cosmic power in the palm of your hand? You could accomplish great things with a snap of your fingers. He was, perhaps, thinking a little too big though - There have to be better uses for the Infinity Gauntlet than wiping out half of the universe, right?

THE MOONSTRUCK

A military power couple suddenly finds themselves at the center of a lunar phenomenon turning ordinary people into zombies and must work together to save the world, their daughter, and their marriage.
  • Official Selection of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi Film & Screenplay Festival 2023.
"One of the best specs out there."

"This is an engaging sci-fi thriller with horror elements and a strong relationship at its core. Its cast of characters comfortably fit into the genre, its sci-fi device works well, and it has a well-earned, satisfying ending, with each main character's arc concluded and a new normal following the events of the story. "

"The script has a solid three-act structure with a clear inciting incident, rising action, midpoint, continuing complications, and finally a climax and dramatically satisfying resolution. Each scene reveals a new problem and connects to the next one with a new goal and conflict. The revelations about [REDACTED] serve to ratchet up the tension and stakes as the story goes on, and expositional, information-heavy scenes are balanced out by more visceral action sequences. Ultimately, the screenplay succeeds in telling an entertaining story while keeping the characters strong and defined throughout."
