The Wish Horse – Short Screenplay Top 3 Winner
A short screenplay by Lisa Ford

The Story: The Wish Horse is a drama about Russell, 14, who is struggling to take care of his 6 year-old sister, Kitty, after their mother abandons them. When a foal is born on a neighboring farm, Kitty believes the foal is magical and can grant wishes.

The Inspiration: I wrote The Wish Horse because I wanted to tell an inspirational story about resilient, creative kids growing up in a family with a mentally ill parent.
