A movie treatment presents the idea of the film before writing the entire script. It highlights the most important information about the film that came from the book; it includes the title, logline, story summary (that may be presented as three-act movie plot summaries), and character description. Treatments also give authors the chance to condense their story concept so they can pitch it to studio heads or producers who might want to fund the movie.
“The Good Listener” by Andrew Black received the Book to Hollywood Movie Treatment after the successful movie script coverage that was previously written for the book. Considering the suggestions from the first level of writing a screenplay, the movie treatment shows the flow of the story that’ll be good on screen as it shows the thrill and suspense of how the characters deal with the conflict.
What if every creature on Earth—flies, ants, horses, whales, even plants—held a secret council and decided it was time to intervene because humans weren’t listening? “The Good Listener” presents that daring idea. In a dusty old barn in Los Angeles, the rulers of the animal kingdom gather for an emergency meeting. The world is in crisis—natural destruction, extinction, and human carelessness are reaching a point of no return. With one last chance to save life on Earth, the animals come up with a remarkable solution: create a hybrid-child who can speak to all living things and possibly change the course of humanity.
This special child is created using a magical seed found at the La Brea Tar Pits and secretly given to a young couple. The result is The Good Listener—a living miracle. With no eyes, ears, or mouth, yet able to sense life, hear nature, and communicate through its green skin, the child is neither boy nor girl—but deeply connected to every plant, insect, animal, and human heart. Everywhere the child goes, flowers bloom, trees come alive, insects gather, and animals watch in silent hope. If you’re someone who loves fantasy, adventure, magical realism, or meaningful stories that speak to our real-world struggles, this book is made for you.
But humanity reacts with fear. When the child is seen in public, the government captures it to study, control, or possibly destroy. Nature strikes back. The oceans rise with the help of sea creatures. Forests blaze with a mysterious pollen that feeds animals but harms humans. Predators attack the city, while the rest of the animal kingdom retreats to the mountains to begin a life without humans. And suddenly, the question turns on us: Will humans learn to live with nature—or disappear because they refused to listen?
“The Good Listener” is more than a story—it’s the beginning of an entire world. With unforgettable animal characters like Alan the ant king and Frank the fly, plus an ending open for sequels and spin-offs, this book is full of possibilities. The hybrid-child, Shim, opens a unique path for future stories—mystical, emotional, and thought-provoking. If you want a story that is magical, meaningful, and wildly original—this book is calling you to listen.
