Brothers & Sisters in Christ Jesus...Here Is My Movie Treatment Based On My Novel, A NEED FOR LOVE

[Didi Tillson]

Ami Parker was born to a nineteen-year-old girl. Ami's mother was the product of a long line of people giving birth to many, and those many were given little chance of becoming productive individuals. Many who would live a life of poverty and meaningless social activity. Many who would die alone, unquestioned and pointless lives.
Ami was different. From her delivery, when the doctors and nurses felt the presence of the spirit in the room, here was a baby with the possibility to break that ancestral chain. Here was a child that finally could determine her own fate. A child that had the possibility to break the unending cycle of despair and serendipity of three hundred years. However, nothing would be certain in this child's life. If she were to succeed, it would be in spite of those around her, at the insistence of her own will.
Ami was a child who was wanted by all and owned by none. Even though her mother and father wanted her, they would not fight for her. She was given to a woman who people thought had faith. As it turns out, not the faith that we all assume to be the faith of God. Ami had food in her stomach but not the food that feeds the soul. As a five-year-old child, she faced the demons of the world, the demon disguised as a human. She was molested and faced with the unmentionable dilemma of telling or having those she loved cut from this earth. One hell of a decision for a five-year-old child. Years of abuse from within and without her household, follow this child.
When she is finally released from one hell, she is sent to a place where she thinks she feels safe only to discover for a female child, she is once again the object of evil in human disguise. The difference is that she has learnt to fight back. She soon learns what has been sacrificed within her own soul in the lessons of hate and filth. She is beginning to face the crossroads of her life. Which way will she turn?
In her teenage years, she becomes the teenager who is tormented between righteousness and evil. She too becomes one of the unwed teenagers and loses her child the way her ancestors have lost theirs. Yet, there is something within her that still yearns for the love she deserves. Even though her angels have been sent into the background, they never leave her totally, alone. They await her calling. The question is, will she find the courage and faith to ask for the help of those who can only wait in the wings for her sincere cry of help before it is too late?
She finds in the words of one man, the knowledge, she has sought all of her life. Nevertheless, words or the introduction to knowledge cannot replace the loss of love and the insanity of life. It is within the spirit of oneself that Ami must accept or reject the truth and guidance this man brings to her.
Ami becomes successful with her gift of writing. She finds a husband who wants to love her and be by her side. Ami finds a way to suppress and challenge both the gift of writing and her husband. It is her own decisions that bring her perilously close to becoming just another statistic in today's world or the wondrous human, God blessed her to become at birth.
How ironic it is then, when she makes a decision, her life itself is close to being snuffed out in the blink of an eye. It is on Mulholland Drive, the Hollywood road of dreams and tragedy, where Ami's life takes the divide of many. A horrific car crash brings her life full circle. The past and future collide when she lapses into a coma, relives, and decides which way her life will begin or end.
