HOLLYWOOD, CA, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Call Sheet Media has officially launched pre-production on The Memory Thief, a grounded science fiction thriller written by newcomer James

Rush. Developed through the company’s CSM Mentor Program, the project is positioned as a cerebral, emotionally charged genre piece aimed at both commercial and critical appeal.

Set in a near-future where human memories are commodified, The Memory Thief centers on a neuro-hacker hired to extract the final thoughts of a dying man—only to uncover hidden truths about her own past that could either reunite her with her long-lost daughter or cost her everything. The story weaves psychological drama into a high-stakes sci-fi premise, with themes of identity, memory, and moral compromise.

Blending tech-noir aesthetics, thriller pacing, and character-driven emotional depth, The Memory Thief is being compared tonally to*Inception, Black Mirror, and Reminiscence.

With a tightly woven narrative and strong visual potential, The Memory Thief marks a bold debut for Rush, whose script was selected for fast-track development following high scores from Call Sheet Media’s internal Script Analysis Team. The project exemplifies the studio’s mission to elevate emerging voices through hands-on mentorship and real industry access, turning compelling concepts into production-ready screenplays with marketplace momentum.

The project is currently in early casting and packaging discussions. Call Sheet Media will oversee production and further creative development.
