Tim Morell

I started as a Tech in the San Francisco Theater scene and then began writing screenplays. After writing my second script, I had a brief run as a "hot prospect" and was represented by some of the Industry's top agencies. I've optioned material, written on both assignment and spec, and had scripts appear on the "must read" list of the Major Studios. I'm returning to writing after a somewhat lengthy hiatus with a backlog of scripts, in a variety of genres, that have been pretty well received. I tend to focus on the character dynamics of my scripts and seem to have developed a knack for crafting strong, female roles. I feel most of my scripts are still relevant and entertaining and am interested in finding out if there's a place for them in today's market.

Richard Walter, the Screenwriting Chair at UCLA, said of my writing, "I immediately felt confident I was in the hands of a skillful, intelligent, and articulate writer. The descriptions and sensibility you have convey character through even the smallest detail.".

An analyst at ICM said of my script, A Hong Kong Diary,

"I believe any script can have holes punched in it depending on the will of the reader, but I’m sure that most would agree this script is a winner and the writer should be commended for his control of language and story skills. Although the story takes place in the East, its strongest allure is its universal appeal. This is very much in the vein of THE ENGLISH PATIENT, and is a script that leaves you wanting more, long after it’s over."
