Introduce Yourself : Looking to connect with classic thriller and horror lovers by Josh Blackmon

Looking to connect with classic thriller and horror lovers

My name is Josh Blackmon. I am an author and screenwriter looking to connect and expand my network. I made several short films in my teens/early 20s and did a few festivals but let that side lay dormant for a while.

I am currently focused on pitching an adaption based on my Roller Derby Vampire Girl book trilogy titled The Sun Rises Without You, with a couple of other smaller scripts and projects in the pipeline.

I would love to connect with filmmakers and producers who love classic horror and thrillers.

Hey, Josh Blackmon. How's the pitching going? Are your short films online?

Josh Blackmon

Sam Mannetti thanks! I am actually waiting on feedback from a few pitches. Thank you for all you and the Stage 32 crew do.

Josh Blackmon

Maurice Vaughan they used to be! I had a friend who used to act in them get on NBC's The Voice, so I scrubbed them so people would find his music and not my videos. I am waiting on feedback; still, I had to switch execs. One of the ones I had pitched to was 4 weeks late on feedback and wasn't responding to the Stage 32 team, but hoping for feedback on the other two any day now.

Maurice Vaughan

That was cool of you to do, Josh Blackmon. Do you plan to make any more short films? Hope you get great feedback on your script.

While I’m not too much of a fan of horror, I did jot out a story for a possession novel, but other than that I only wrote a few chapters. Putting it on the back burner.

Josh Blackmon

Maurice Vaughan at some point for sure! I forgot I have this still online. Not really a short film but we did a trailer for one of my books! https://youtu.be/f4NWDiO7mUI

Maurice Vaughan

I really like the trailer, Josh Blackmon. Is it part of your pitch?

Josh Blackmon

Maurice Vaughan no, to be honest, I'm not entirely happy with it. Mainly the audio, but I should definitely recut and redub to utilize as a part of the pitch. Also, needs a few more vamps. haha
