From the first draft to this final version, the screenplay has grown in depth, clarity, and emotional resonance—and that’s a direct reflection of the author’s skill as a storyteller.
When it comes to filmmaking, the screenplay is the unsung hero that often goes unnoticed by audiences. A movie screenplay, or script, is much more than just a collection of dialogue; it is the foundational document that outlines the entire narrative of a film. Think of it as the blueprint for a house—without it, the structure would lack form and coherence.
At its core, a screenplay details the story’s plot, character arcs, and visual elements, guiding directors, actors, and production teams in bringing the story to life. It includes not only the words spoken by characters but also descriptions of settings, actions, and transitions, allowing filmmakers to visualize each scene before filming begins.
Screenplays are typically formatted in a specific way to ensure clarity and ease of reading. This standardization helps everyone involved in the production—from the director to the cinematographer—understand the vision of the writer. A well-crafted screenplay is essential for a successful film, as it serves as the roadmap that leads to the final product.
Citi of Books is proud to announce the movie screenplay completion of “Holy Rollers” by James I. Wallace, Ph.D. — a novel that will leave you guessing from tee time through the back nine.
If you think “Holy Rollers” is “just another golf book,” think again. This novel sneaks up on you—in the best way possible. Set at a country club that feels calm on the surface, the story quickly pulls you into a deeper world of faith, psychology, and moral tension. One unexpected tragedy turns a routine day on the course into a puzzle that refuses to stay buried. It’s gripping without being flashy, thoughtful without being heavy, and surprisingly hard to put down.
The target audience of the book includes golfers, spiritual seekers, fans of character-driven mysteries, and readers who enjoy stories that ask big questions without preaching. You don’t need to know a thing about golf to enjoy this novel—but if you’ve ever obsessed over getting something “just right,” whether it’s a job, a relationship, or your own mindset, you’ll feel right at home. Max, the protagonist, is relatable in his quiet self-doubt and constant effort to balance skill, confidence, and meaning.
One of the most compelling parts of “Holy Rollers” is how it mirrors real life. We like to believe that bad things happen randomly, but this book gently challenges that assumption. The moral lesson ties closely to a general real-life experience many of us share: the realization that ignoring patterns, avoiding uncomfortable questions, or trusting appearances can have serious consequences. It reminds us that awareness—on the golf course and in life—matters.
Ultimately, “Holy Rollers” by James I. Wallace, Ph.D. is about learning to stay centered when life throws you a wild shot you never saw coming. It’s thoughtful, entertaining, and quietly powerful. If you enjoy novels that blend mystery with meaning—and leave you reflecting long after the final page—this is absolutely a book to movie worth.
