Introduce Yourself : Amateur Screenwriter by Mark Spurlock

Mark Spurlock

Amateur Screenwriter

I was in construction since high school. Also co-hosted a morning radio show for ten years in a small rural town. I was the station manager for six years. A listener called me one day and said I should write a screenplay about one of the music hours I had created, a character named Rock Spinner. He thought it would make a cool story about a small time radio station. I thought he was mad, but one day at work I came up with a screenplay. So that started me becoming an amateur screenwriter. I have since written a comedy western and am working on another.

Hey Mark! Love the radio DJ inspiration for your first screenplay.

Thanks Amanda, it’s funny how it all came to me in one day, and the next one took a year. You just never know.
