1. What is your screenplay about?

The year is 2016 and Apollo, the Sun god, who has just been retired by his old man, Zeus, after driving the sun around earth 912,500 times, reflecting on his life (and yes, the earth is still the center of the universe, that’s why it circles us as any fool could tell you. . . and one just did!)
