Mike Starchak:
А mix of love, relationships, personal growth, struggle, and passion
This is the script I wrote in 2024, and I can’t wait to bring it to life.
It’s a romantic comedy meets sports drama—a mix of love, relationships, personal growth, struggle, and passion. Six different stories, all connected by a marathon in a city I deeply love—Vancouver, Canada. Each story stands on its own, but together they show how running can help people overcome challenges and even rediscover themselves.
Marathons teach you patience—the key to achieving anything you want in life. That’s what my next film is about.
