Picture

logline

Sid has returned from the dead, only to face a whole new way of "living" -- dealing with his past, friends and family, while simultaneously making sense of the events unfolding around him, including a growing awareness of his appetite for living flesh.

hey, shannon!

In what has become a tradition in most of my scripts (starting right here), ​​I have a character named "Shannon" within the story.
​In 
SID'S APPLE, "Shannon" is Sid's pushy apartment neighbor.
