As the online buzz reached a fever pitch, the annual film festival was about to begin.
At that very moment, the organizers dropped a bombshell.
The original screenwriter of Reversal, SouthBank, would be attending the award ceremony.
The announcement caused an even bigger stir than news of A-list celebrities joining the event.
SouthBank wasn't just a name with a loyal fanbase, his air of mystery alone was enough to spark widespread curiosity.
No one knew if he was male or female. Since debuting, he had written only one screenplay but it was an instant classic. The industry had valued it at ninety million, setting a new record for script copyright pricing.
With someone like that showing up at the festival, how could people not get excited?
Some die-hard fans of the script had made preparations long in advance, just waiting for the big day.
…
On the day of the award ceremony, the film festival was dazzling with starlight.
