Marigold

105 pages  ·  Drama  ·  Honorable Mention — WILDsound FEEDBACK Film & Screenplay Festival

When a privileged overachiever and an undocumented dreamer join forces to build a home for a migrant family, they discover that legacy isn't something you inherit. It's something you build.

Set in the High Desert, Marigold follows Chelsea Bernstein, a USC legacy student under pressure from her father Nathaniel to maintain her elite academic status. Her path intersects with Memo Rojas, a talented Oaxacan migrant, when they enroll in a vocational construction class led by entrepreneur Mari Gold Poule. Together with a diverse group of student-engineers known as The Collective, they apply medieval architectural principles to build a modular home for Memo's family — and force a reckoning between inherited expectations and self-made purpose.
