In 1975, when the US Air Force proudly announces its “first” female pilots, a housewife with a classified past must rally the remaining women of the WW2-era WASP corps to finally gain military recognition as the original female flyboys, before they are erased from history.

      Great concept.? I had to read it a few times to fully grasp it.? Maybe remove a few words?

      A “housewife” with a classified past must rally the remaining members of the Air Forces first female flyboys and gain military recognition before they are erased from history.”

      Is this based upon or inspired by a real events (including the main character)?

      (And is it really accurate to say the original female pilots would? be erased?? Is it not more likely? the case that their contribution is being ignored, relegated to obscurity?)

      >>>Sort of like what Amazon did with Good Girls Revolt recently.

      Which was a 10 part series.? Is this to be a one-off feature film or a series?

      Also? “Good Girls Revolt” was about an ensemble of women struggling to accomplish, to get ahead in the present tense of their lives in the 60’s, in the here and now of the story setting.

      Your story seems to be about what an ensemble of women trying to do to get recognition their accomplishments in the past tense, in the there and then of WW2.? So why?not just write a script about what the crew of women struggled to do then ? — during the way — in spite of all? the problems, dangers, opposition and sexism they faced?

      For what they did then –? in WW2 — seems far more dramatically interesting? than what they are trying to do?30 years later.

      >>>Then you?re into a period piece, which would cost loads more to make

      Good point, Foxtrot25.? However,

      1] You’re into a period piece anyway setting the story beginning in 1975 — more than 40 years.? Which means it’s going to cost more.? Granted not cost as much as setting it in WW2, but…

      2] How are you going to persuade the audience that the women deserve recognition if you don’t show what they did to deserve it?? Like the movie “Hidden Figures”.? It didn’t focus on the struggle of Black women to gain recognition for their contribution to the US space program decades later.? The movie shows them in that time period struggling to achieve and win respect and recognition.

      Show, not tell.? That’s the best way to tell a film story,? persuade a movie audience.
