Jonathan Herrick
Seeking humanistic, bankable director

My U.K. producer and I, the screenwriter, are wishlisting directors for a True Story about a New England family losing a child, then rescuing one in the Himalayas. The screenplay is ready to read. I am part of the story.

I assume $60M is not low-budget. Not high, but at least mid-range. Depending on the director and lead it could go higher.

Jonathan Herrick

It will be a major commercial motion picture quite possibly with an A-list lead,

Jonathan Herrick if you haven't already, I'd suggest checking out Jim Issa. He's a great guy and a great director. Very collaborative and truly understands storytelling. I've worked with him on severa...

I'm a screenwriter currently undertaking a Masters in screenwriting (Duh). I'll be attending for the first time this year for 4 days, and I know absolutely nobody - anyone into horror/comedy fancy a coffee or beer?. I'm in England, just under 2 miles from Shepperton Studios.

Seasoned screenwriter seeking producers and directors to collaborate on my screenplays

Looking to collaborate on my scripts: 1) a remarkable, upbeat true story (I possess full rights), 2) a juicy coming-of-age story with a twist, based on my teenage years; 3) a rom-com political thriller with super savvy political consultants attached.

Jonathan Herrick

I love very smart, comic, visually original work - from Buster Keaton, Renoir and Fellini to Coppola, early Terence Malik and the Coen brothers.

Absolutely love that list of your inspirations - what’s your favorite Coen Brothers movie?

Jonathan Herrick

Hey Amanda - thanks for asking! It has to be The Big Lebowski, which to me is one of the funniest movies since the age of sound. The cast is fantastic and the scenes at the bowling alley are genius. What about for you? And who are your favorite filmmakers?
