Stage 32ers,
My name is Matt and I'm a screenwriter who has had success in the thriller/horror space recently. Looking to connect with other like-minded individuals, so feel free to reach out and introduce yourself. In the meantime, here is more info about me:
I'm a Los Angeles native whose love of writing and entertainment are what led me to pursue a career as a professional writer. Self-taught, I've honed the craft through reading countless books, articles, screenplays, teleplays, listening to podcasts, and watching thousands of films and TV shows. To date I've written or co-written six features and four pilots. My recent successes include being hired by Mar Vista Entertainment, as well as a few directors, to write thrillers for them. I also developed a psychological thriller with Smart Entertainment (Blades of Glory, TED movies, The Boy Next Door), which they are now working to produce, and I'm in final negotiations to sell a horror feature to another production company. Ultimately, I'm a highly collaborative individual who has the ability to write across all genres by drawing upon my eclectic taste, personal observations, and diverse life experiences.
With gratitude,
Matt

Hey, Matt. I am one of the like-minded individuals of which you speak. Congratulations on your recent successes. I have yet to work with a major production company (I've only worked on indie projects with my very talented friends thus far), but let me know if you'd like to act as a reader or bounce board for one-another sometime.
Cheers!

Greetings, and congratulations on your many successes.
I'm marketing my first feature, just completed a short and pushing now to finish up a collaborative project with a WGA friend/writer
Busy is good!
Hey Matt,
I'm a novelist in Southwest Wyoming. I've heard more than one author say that a person shouldn't start writing until after the age of 40, basically to gain life experience. I've always been creative; thought outside the box; almost literally blown myself up via natural gas compressor; revived my son from hanging himself only to let him go a few weeks later; learned that my oldest daughter wasn’t mine. Yeah, I've got a fair dose of experience.
I've been transfering those experiences into novels but have come across some stories that would be better in film than a novel. I learn best by making mistakes.
I'd love to work with a mentor like yourself or some one you recommend.
All the best
Alex
