Imagine the Story before You read it.
Yohana, a brilliant but emotionally fractured private investigator, has built an entire imaginary world to survive the wounds of her past. When she is called back to Los Angeles to investigate the murder of a political journalist, the carefully sealed doors in her mind begin to crack open. Every clue she uncovers reshapes itself into surreal visions, every suspect merges with the characters she invented as a child and every step closer to the truth threatens to pull her deeper into the imagination she has been trying to escape.
As the investigation intensifies, Yohana forms an unexpected bond with Michelle: the victim’s teenage daughter, whose life echoes her own childhood in devastating ways. But protecting Michelle requires more than solving a murder; it forces Yohana to confront the memories she has buried, the family she left behind and the imaginary companions who have guided (and corrupted) her judgement.
When Michelle is kidnapped, Yohana faces an impossible question:
Can she trust her own mind long enough to save a real girl from a real danger?
This is a story where trauma becomes a landscape, imagination becomes a weapon and the mystery can only be solved by stepping into, and then destroying, the dark world Yohana created to survive.
Meet the Main Characters of Yohana's World.
Yohana
A brilliant, emotionally fractured private investigator whose vivid imagination is both her investigative asset and her greatest liability.
Michelle
Teenage daughter of the murdered journalist. Fragile but unexpectedly brave.
Rico
Charismatic, cold manipulator once close to his family. Wants Love but choses control.
Zuri
Logical conscience in Yohana’s imagination. Cool and a commanding guide.
Ayden
Emotional correspondent to Zuri. Tender and fragile. Embodies Yohana’s heart.
Sophia
Yohana’s mother and originator of her imaginary coping mechanism.
Meet the World of Yohana's World.
In Yohana’s World, reality is unstable, memory is weaponized and imagination becomes a living environment that protects Yohana, until it traps her.
As she hunts the murderer and fights to save Michelle on the streets of Los Angeles, the world around her reshapes itself into a psychological maze that only she can see and navigate… but may not survive intact.
Why Yohana’s World is a smart, low-risk and a high-value investment?
In a market where standout psychological thrillers are in constant demand, Yohana’s World offers producers and story collectors a rare combination: a fully developed narrative, an emotionally powerful protagonist and a complete creative package that reduces both development time and production risk.
Clean acquisition model with no creative restrictions
Unlike most screenplays today, this screenplay is offered for outright sale with no credit requirement and no backend obligations.
This means:
Full IP and creative control to the buyer.
No on-screen credit negotiations or writer demands.
No backend compensation or long-term liabilities.
Freedom to adjust casting, scenes, tone, or direction without constraints.
For production companies, studios and independent buyers, this is a rare opportunity for a clean, frictionless acquisition of a market-ready psychological thriller.
This alone significantly lowers the cost, time, and complexity of moving the project into production.
A Commercial Psychological Thriller built for today’s audience
Psychological thrillers consistently rank among the top-performing genres because they merge suspense, emotional depth and mystery in a universally compelling way.
Recent data confirms:
Psychological thrillers remain highly in demand as audiences crave complex emotional stories and unpredictable plots.
These films attract not only thriller enthusiasts but also drama audiences, creating wide appeal.
Female-led thrillers perform exceptionally well, driven by audience appetite for empowered, flawed, emotionally rich protagonists.
Yohana’s World sits squarely in this sweet spot, combining commercial tension with psychological complexity in a way that resonates with today’s viewers.
Target Demographic Alignment: Women 18 to 45 and Prestige Thriller Fans
The core demographic for Yohana’s World aligns with one of the strongest audience segments in global streaming and theatrical markets:
Women aged 18 to 45.
Fans of psychological thrillers.
Viewers drawn to emotional narratives, trauma exploration and identity-driven stories.
Audiences loyal to titles like Sharp Objects, Black Swan, Gone Girl, and You
This demographic consistently drives high engagement, repeat viewing and strong W.O.M (Word of mouth).
Psychological thrillers are loved because they allow viewers to explore fear, uncertainty and identity in a controlled, emotionally cathartic way: a phenomenon backed by psychological research.
This emotional draw positions Yohana’s World not just as entertainment, but as an experience audiences will discuss, share and return to.

My name is Ansh
and I bring you a story of imagination, that meets raw emotional truth.
Yohana, to me, represents what it feels like to carry unresolved grief.
To invent safeguarded worlds when the real one fails you.

Every scene in this psychological thriller screenplay was built slowly, like some sort of a scar forming.
Every time I read this story, it feels like the story reflects some part of my own struggle with emotional memory, fractured identity, and the question:
When does imagination save you and when does it begin to destroy you?

Because I am not seeking creative control, credits or attachment and I believe this story deserves to grow without the weight of my presence on it.
I began writing Yohana’s World with the intention of pitching it traditionally. But as the story evolved, so did my relationship with it. I realized that its emotional power comes from its rawness, its intuition and its ability to stand on its own without a creator shaping its destiny beyond the page.
Most screenwriters follow a path of representation, querying, competitions and years of waiting.
I am here, carving a new path: selling the screenplay directly and offering a complete package upfront. No gatekeepers. No endless feedback loops. No barriers between the story and the people capable of bringing it to the screen.
This story has a life of its own.
And it is ready for the right hands to take it farther than I ever could.

Rewrite it
Rebrand it
Reformat it
Expand it into a series
Tighten it into a short
Change characters, locations, tone or structure
There are no creative restrictions and no approvals needed from me.
It becomes your story to tell, your world to shape and your vision to lead.
Having said that, Yohana’s World already stands extremely strong on its own: emotionally, structurally and cinematically.
Because Yohana’s World doesn’t just entertain, it will linger.
It is a psychological thriller that digs into the marrow of grief, imagination and identity.
A film where every scene carries emotional weight, every character has depth and every twist is earned.
Here is what makes it stand apart:
Emotional Intelligence: Characters who feel alive, wounded, layered and human.
Visual Depth: A world that blends surreal imagery with grounded emotional truth.
Character-Driven Stakes: The tension stems not just from the plot, but from the protagonist’s battle with herself.
Spiritual Underpinning: A quiet undercurrent of existential meaning that stays with the viewer long after the credits roll.
Commercial DNA: Tight pacing, gripping tension, a compelling mystery and a female-led psychological descent that matches current audience demand.
A Haunting yet Reflective Ending: One that will either inspire viewers or stay under their skin the way only strong psychological thrillers do.
This will be a spectacular cinematic experience: emotionally resonant, commercially viable and yes, psychologically unforgettable.
