BEFORE 40

Written by Deedra Scherm & Ryan Paul James

She turned her love life into a reality show. Now the world is watching!
Lisa Davenport was just trying to save her job. She didn’t expect to risk her heart in the process.

After a major reality TV disaster tanks her credibility, fledgling producer Lisa finds herself one idea away from unemployment. When multiple old flames suddenly show up to cash in on long-forgotten “If we’re not married by 40” pacts, Lisa does what any desperate creative would do...she pitches the chaos as a brand-new show.

The network says yes. The ratings soar. And now Lisa’s personal life is national entertainment.

Before 40 is a laugh-out-loud, heart-tugging romantic comedy that dares to ask: What if your past promises collided with your present dreams—LIVE, on camera?

With hilarious flashbacks full of 80s and 90s nostalgia, this is not just a story, it’s the actual screenplay for the upcoming film, shared with readers BEFORE it hits the screen. That’s right: you’re reading the script before the movie’s even made.

Join a delightful cast of unforgettable bachelors who just might be The One. Lisa’s journey is a perfect blend of wit, warmth, and wild twists.

Whether you love screenplays, crave rom-coms, or dream of backstage drama, Before 40 delivers the behind-the-scenes experience you didn’t know you needed.
