G'day, fellow Stage 32 Members!
I just wanted to take a break from writing and introduce myself.
I'm just an ordinary guy trying to do extraordinary things with what time I have spare outside of my day job that supports me and gives me the security of trying out my ideas. I started out as an extra and quickly turned my talents in creative writing to develop concepts into short films and now working on several feature scripts.
I have been involved in independent film for 10 years now but have only really seen any advancement and success in the last 2. Lots of years of fearing failure, making mistakes and learning the 'Why' and the 'How'.
My first 2 short films have won nearly 300 IMDb festival awards combined and I was ecstatic that my first film won a Gold Remi at Worldfest Houston like so many of my peers when they started out.
I would love to connect to those who wish to collaborate in the genre of crime, thrillers, and horror or just screenplays in general.
If there are any agents or managers looking for a determined Aussie screenwriter/storyteller who sets goals and overachieves, then please feel free to contact me as I really could use your help with my next career development phase.
Okay, thanks for taking the time to read this!
