The Screenplay Competition Winner: THE MEET-UP by Enrique R. Carrasco
The script brilliantly utilizes parallel storytelling and visual misdirection. By keeping the focus entirely on Michael’s grueling adaptation to his new reality and his mounting anxiety about hiding his condition from a girl he met online, the final reveal—that Lisa is also utilizing a sports wheelchair—is both a beautiful subversion of expectations and a profound emotional payoff.
