My name is Frank, and I'm a screenwriter based in Washington State.
I have been writing full-time since retiring from Federal Service 2 years ago. My recent feature script, Vincent and Paul: Unspoken Brotherhood, has been completed and has won many awards, making it my most bestowed screenplay. I have written the feature scripts, La Famiglia (The Family), Circus Animals, The Apparition, and the Browne's Addition series.
I'm looking forward to chatting and getting to know everyone! Please reach out and say hello. Happy New Year!

Hi Frank, welcome! Circus Animals and The Apparition sound intriguing, what are they about?
Hi Lydia! Thank you!
Circus Animals logline: After crooked Carnival Workers abduct their friends, a band of circus animals embarks on a frightening and dangerous journey to find them.
In a circus, animals are used for entertainment and monetary benefits for their owners. Yet, like any business, the circus isn’t exempt from mistreatment and injustice. Where humans lack empathy and use each other unjustly, “Circus Animals” creates an animated world in which animals have their own voice and must save each other from the faults of their human owners. The screenplay kicks off, presenting one old dog leading a new one into the circus. The new dog quickly accepts her environment and meets other animals with their own unique personality. Indeed, all the animals of the circus seem to be living in harmony, happy to entertain people until humans go wrong. A cunning mistreatment to the circus carneys causes them to kidnap the lioness of the circus along with her cub. This situation unites all the animals together to seek and free their fellow animals.
The Apparition logline: After moving into a historic mansion, a divorced, loving father must protect his children after an encounter with an aggressive ghost.

Hi Brian! I'll be moving to Seattle in about three years. Maybe we can connect and get acquainted. Are you in Seattle or the outlining area?
Frank, I'm currently in the city and will be going to the East side in a few months. Plenty of us both in the city, on the Eastside, up in Snohomish and down in Tacoma. Looking forward to having you here!
Frank, Circus Animals sounds amazing!! I absolutely love the idea! As a huge animal lover, the treatment of circus animals has always saddened me. This is definitely a movie I would pay to see in theaters!
Frank, it appears that you've been prolific, and, I'm certain that the accolades and awards are meritorious... I am a Content Developer, seeking a seasoned screenwriter - as I tend to write dialogue the way I believe people "should" speak (grammar, etc.), in stead of how they actually communicate, a causatum of having taught English... Any suggestions?
