Synopsis & Story:

Casimir Effect is a story of unrequited love set on a backdrop of temporal paradox. Dr. Alice Sharpe has a choice to make, stay with her true love and risk the collapse of the space time Continuum, or take more drastic measures to ensure all of creation isn’t erased.

The story takes on elements of Romeo and Juliet’s love story, and plays them out in a future reality where they have to make hard choices in order to stop the universe from collapsing in on itself.

Casimir Effects writers, Gabriel strange & Lydia Wood, are developing the screen story and exploring the characters and the world they inhabit. The screen story will be made into a Novella, which will generate funding for insurance and un-avoidable costs.
