Spec Script Deal: “Superfecundation”

Screen Gems acquires comedy spec script “Superfecundation” written by Savion Einstein. From Deadline:

The script centers on a charmingly chaotic woman who is struggling to figure out her life, and finds herself in a unique situation when she becomes pregnant with twins by different fathers — an actual rare occurrence known as superfecundation. The script made the semifinal list of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Nicholl Fellowships in 2016.

This is a special spec script deal for me. I worked with Savy when she was selected for the 2014 Black List feature writers lab in Las Vegas. We really hit it off. Later, she sent me an early version of “Superfecundation” which I really liked, so I sent her some notes. This was in September 2015! Now nearly three years later, she sells it as a spec script to Screen Gems.

So happy for her!

Savy is repped by Gersh and Bellevue Productions.

By my count, this is the 25th spec script deal in 2018.

There were 37 spec script deals year-to-date in 2017.
