A film project interrupted by an unexpected voice

Indie director Nina gathers her community-theatre friends to make a film about telepathic alien bones, hoping to reconnect with her creativity. Her plans are complicated by a depressive episode that takes the form of Vincenzo, a sarcastic skeleton, and by clashes with Beth, the film’s opinionated lighting technician. The setup brings depression and creative work into the same story, with Nina’s struggle over the production tied to a broader question: what made the project matter to her in the first place. The novel’s mix of community theatre, an unusual film premise, and Nina’s effort to manage her episode gives its central conflict both practical and personal dimensions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fiction about depression and its effects on everyday life.
  • Readers curious about creative projects, indie filmmaking, or community theatre.
  • Those drawn to stories that combine social themes with an offbeat supernatural element.

Book overview

Desperate to feel creative again, indie film director Nina rounds up her community theatre friends to tell a bizarre story about telepathic alien bones.

 

But when her next depressive episode arrives early-in the form of a sarcastic skeleton named Vincenzo-Nina must find a way to tune him out and keep the film on track. Which wouldn't be so hard if not for Beth, the opinionated lighting tech challenging her at every turn.

 

Disillusioned and running on empty, Nina wonders whether the only way to save her film is to figure out why it felt so important to make it in the first place.

 

This character-driven, heartfelt romp will resonate with those who've struggled with depression, creativity, or the weight of a world that wasn't built for them.
