My short film, The Furies (Proof of Concept) has been selected for Cannes Short Film Festival. This open a few doors (and has, been asked by a producer to helm their 2nd unit in Miami & Key West).

Hello, I don't know what the correct protocol is but I would love to create or be part of a group w. screenwriters who shares their work and offer feedback. I have a few short scripts that I would love opinions on (hard constructive criticism). I have been writing for a bit, but honestly never shared my work because of the lack of workshops near me. Now, I am starting to see more and more pop up, which is great. I will definitely look into those, in the meantime would anyone be interested in taking a look at scripts or having an online group to bounce feedback?

I’m a writer & director. I’ve done numerous short films and a cable TV pilot in 1990, then I had a family and I took off to do commercial photography and raising my daughter by myself. I had my hands full... Now I’m back. Ok, I wasn't completely away from movies in the last 25 years. I tried a ultra-low horror project in 2001 and it failed. Never ultra-low again. Nope, never. I’ve got several screenplays and pitches for the right ears. These are my writing projects, and I own all rights. One is a horror, one dark comedy, and a mythological thriller. The common thread in all my stories are dead bodies. I’m looking to partner with a Producer/Exec Producer to develop one or more of these projects. The first project ready to roll is a mythological thriller set in modern times. This would make a great franchise project. Maybe you're a casting director who wants to start producing? Well. Talk to me! This script was written to attract name actors who want to break away from previous roles and have some fun. I put together a great team and I directed a short based upon this project in 2013, it premiered at the Big Easy Int’l Film festival in New Orleans to a great crowd reception in April of last year. This short stars Elle LaMont (Machete Kills, Dusk ‘till Dawn TV series) and Donny Boaz (NCIS, Dallas) So contact me via PM or add me to your network and let's start talking!

Hello everyone, I am curious as to what others may use for making budgets. I use MMB7 and am very happy with it but have not had the opportunity to try others. What works for you and how timely is it?
