Monaghan’s musings sparked the idea for Nora Goes Off Script, which centers on Nora Hamilton, a recently divorced romance channel screenwriter whose script about her marriage’s collapse offers her a chance to reclaim her life and find love. Were they hopeless romantics who believed in the kind of saccharine albeit ultimately satisfying love stories they were selling? Or were they cynics for whom rationalizing a formula for love was possible because they believed love only existed on the page? But as each recycled narrative unfolded into the next, she became fascinated not only with the formulaic nature of these films, but with the people who wrote them. With their quirky small-town settings, impractical-yet-somehow- lucrative careers, and slightly too-handsome love interests, each 120-minute film offered an irresistible escape.
