In our fourth episode of season two, we're joined by spec king, Dan Kunka to discuss his ⁠2014 Black List⁠ script, Yellowstone Falls - a 52-page script with minimal dialogue and few human characters.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world where a catastrophic event has stripped the humanity from most survivors, leaving them as mutated threats. At its core, it's the story of a mother wolf who becomes separated from her mate when their pack flees to safety. Now alone, she must defend her cubs from an oncoming swarm of these dehumanized creatures.
